Why the hell are christmas specials so goddamn predictable

[Refticus]

my idea of a perfect christmas special is where there is a cult of santa who have to sacrifice a child to keep santa alive. to top this off all the people in this cult will be the hatred guy.

it's original, doesn't follow the format and can be made in one month before christmas by an unpaid labor force.

In fact, both of these sound like Blockland Gamemodes.
Block Humbug!:

One Blocklander is made as the "Humbug", and has no faith in "the christmas spirit"/santa or starts out with faith in it and then has doubt instilled
Other players work to re-instill faith in the "Humbug"
Other players win when that one Blocklander has faith again and everybody lives happily ever after, otherwise the "Humbug" wins when the timer runs out.

Christmas Capitalists:

Parent Team is struggling to get christmas presents and the Kid Team is having doubt instilled about "spirit of christmas"/santa
Parent Team miraculously get money/presents, but must give the right gift to the right child; The kid team must escape business capitalists whom are on a third team, sucking the faith out of children.
Kids have faith restored with the gifts, both Parents and Kids win, otherwise when all faith is gone, the business capitalists win.
