WWE loves Christmas as much as all of us do and they make sure that every year, they celebrate the festival and add their own unique spin. It’s been funny, happy and sometimes even dark. But what it’s always been is entertaining. We’ve seen several entertaining Christmas moments in WWE throughout the years, such as Santa Claus being hit with a stunner, Santa Claus hitting a stunner, and WWE superstars getting the better of their rivals and making the crowd happy.
It’s indeed one of the most cheerful times of the year and though the Christmas episodes may not usually involve much storyline progression, it’s fine given that there are 51 other episodes in a year to do that. Let’s take a look at some of the best Christmas-themed matches in WWE history.

#5.) Christmas Present on a pole match – RAW 2013
It was the tail end of the year and Dolph Ziggler definitely didn’t end 2013 like he wanted to. He was World Heavyweight Champion at one point and suffered a concussion dropping the title not long after. By the end of the year, he was in an unimportant feud with Fandango, and perhaps the best thing that came out of the feud was their Christmas Present on a Pole match.
The match description is self-explanatory. The pole was disguised as a giant candy cane and Ziggler and Fandango had a very fun match, with the crowd rallying behind The Showoff. Unfortunately, just like the entire year, that night didn’t go too well for him. He was shoved into steel steps and it subsequently allowed Fandango to pick up the gift. He also earned an Intercontinental title shot with that win.
