There's a case in Ace Attorney Investigations 2 that takes place on Christmas Eve, 2000. Either in Japan or LA depending on which language the game's in.

Planet Laika for the psx is based around christmas and christmas eve, though the exact times are difficult to pin as you spend your time on the surface of Mars. it doesn't stop people being festive up there though as there's a bunch of decorations and festive bgm :)
