The kids (and June) decorating the base. They put up large stockings for the bots. Agent Fowler's stocking is red, white, and blue.

Obviously, the bots don't have Christmas, or Hannukah, or anything else. There's a decent amount of Christmas-inspired holidays mentioned in various comics or episodes, but I don't think any are particularly canon. It's hard to have holidays when you've been fighting for eons. Most of their culture has been lost, and holidays are a part of that.

So they participate with the humans...as best they can. Tinsel is wrapped around their tall legs, and Optimus puts the star on the Christmas tree. I personally hc Raf as Jewish, and Ratchet gives him a present on the last night.

Miko gives Bulkhead tickets to a monster truck show. How they will manage to pull that off without blowing his cover is unknown.

Ratchet banned mistletoe from the base.

Smokescreen and Bee use the ground bridge to bring snow to the base. Raf makes a snow-man and Miko throws snowballs at both Bulkhead and Ratchet before it all melts. Ratchet complains about the mess for days.

Optimus reads the "Twas the Night Before Christmas" poem, and is very confused about it but is glad he could participate in a human tradition.

Ultra Magnus does not participate but gets a stocking anyway.

The energon is spiked, the eggnog is not

Bee plays Christmas music as loud as he can, starting November 3rd. Nobody appreciates it, except Miko when he plays her rock 'n' roll Christmas playlist.

June knits Ratchet a red-and-white steering wheel cover. He is very touched but would never say that.

Arcee is fond of ornaments and is the most careful about not breaking them. June lets her pick out one on Amazon; it's a little bicycle with an elf riding on it.

The cons are...much different. They don't have humans hanging around them, but Knockout or some other con who likes elements of human culture might mention the holiday season. They probably wouldn't do much for it besides get drunk and take a day off of plotting the Autobot's demise.

Starscream still receives coal on Christmas day, though. Nobody will tell him who gave it to him.

Soundwave does get presents for Laserbeak, though. :)

At work on my break listening to holiday music and can't stop thinking about a moment of peace there would be at the Autobot base. And I mean a moment in between the decorating and excitement of the holidays. I mean that one moment people have of just...peace. That mutual moment of just "Things are pretty okay."

Celebrations

Summary: based on the Mecha Pilot Jazz Au by @keferon and inspired by the holiday season, primarily Christmas since that is the holiday I personally celebrate every year. JazzProwl fic, mostly fluff.

From what Jazz could tell, it had been roughly a year and a half since he had been flung into space and inadvertently made first contact. So much had happened, it was hard to believe it was so little time – but at the same time, he knew how moments could stretch out into what felt like days.

He had only been outed as an alien organic a few months ago, but he had settled into a new routine. It was hard sometimes, to get all your needs in a base designed for giant robots, but he managed. He had managed for all those months even before he was found out.

But there were still things that couldn’t be recreated out in space – like the holiday celebrations.

It wasn’t anything fancy, but everyone back home that had to be on call during the holidays would put together a little party of their own. They couldn’t get smashed or do anything too stupid, but the white elephant games and helping to a light a Menorah for the first time was good enough.

It gave him the warm fuzzies, along with the worst food coma he’s ever had after eating too much holiday food from the potluck.

But out here? He didn’t even know what kind of holidays Cybertronians had, if they even did have them. He assumed they gotta, but either weren’t celebrating, or this was one of those things that they did on a much longer calendar than a human one.

It was lonely to be the only human, even surrounded by his friends, and the lack of shared holidays just made that worse.

“What’s on your processor?” Prowl asked, jarring Jazz out of his sleepy daydreaming thoughts. He had dozed off a little, and was thinking of the lights and snow from back home.

“Oh, it’s nothing Prowler,” Jazz said with a smile, “just thinking of home.”

“Hmn,” Prowl said, contemplative expression on his metal face. It was very handsome to see, when he was trying to work through a problem in his processor.

“It’s okay,” Jazz said, giving a pat to Prowl’s large hand near him. “I’m happy to be here, I just miss some things from home.”

Prowl shifted his attention away from his work, leaning on the desk. It was hard to describe just how large Prowl was sometimes, not just in physical size but presence. He could take up an entire room without even trying, drawing all the light towards him.

He was an absolute catch, even if he happened to be an alien older than dirt that could turn into a car. Sometimes Jazz wonders when the ridiculous became mundane, or how he was so lucky be able to know Prowl.

“Tell me about it,” Prowl said, looking at Jazz with a considerable expression.

Jazz hummed lightly as he thought about where to start, and decided that the holidays were a good place to start – as it was already on his mind.

“Well… around now, it would be winter, what we call the holiday season. We have so many different celebrations around that time, but my family -er, clan, always celebrated Christmas,” Jazz then looked up, considering how to explain it.

“Christmas is a festival, celebrated near the winter solstice – when the day reaches it’s shortest. There were a few different explanations for it, but it was mostly about giving eachother gifts, getting together with family, and eating food.”

“We also would string up lights across houses and buildings, since the days were so short it would light up whole streets. My folks used to walk up and down all of our neighbours, handing out sugar cookies,” he smiled to himself, remembering how his mom would bundle him up for the Washington winters and how he loved to watch all the houses with blinking lights, reflecting off the white snow.

“There were others too of course, but I still have a soft spot for Christmas,” Jazz admitted.

Prowl was listening intently, nodding along. “I see, we did similar things in Praxus before the war.”

Jazz perked up, “Really? What was it like?”

“Well… We celebrated once every half vorn. You see, Cybertron’s orbit around the sun was tilted in such a way that our city would be completely in darkness for periods of time. We celebrated the ends of those periods with a festival, where we would hang lights on the crystal gardens and bake crystal treats,” Prowl said, him having a turn at being wistful. "We all gathered together to see the sun rise after all the darkness, and we would have a day off to bask in the first new day."

Jazz smiled, “It sounds nice.”

Prowl nodded, “It was. I’m sorry you can’t attend your Christmas Festival, it sounds important to you.”

Jazz shrugged, “It’s okay, I’m happy to spend the time with you.”

Prowl smiled then, rare and soft and genuine. It couldn’t replace what Jazz missed, but it did help a little.

Blessed Samhian to you!

I invite you to enjoy this blessed day at the end of the harvest. To feast with family and friends. Celebrate what this beautiful earth has provided. To live and laugh through song and dance.

Tonight we honor our ancestors. Spirits of our fathers and mothers, I call to you, and welcome you to join us for this night. You watch over us always, protecting and guiding us, and tonight I thank you.

I can't help but compare Megatron and Optimus' relationship to ancient literature and mythology. Their story (and by extension the story of the cybertronian war) reads like an ancient Greek tragedy. Or a heartbreaking Chinese poem. To be locked in a devastating war in which the two leaders are evenly matched, who knew each other in the past, who still know each other so intimately that their very existence relies on the other. Doomed to fight for millions of years, and to know that they will probably die together and be intertwined for all of eternity. Whether they are friends, enemies, lovers- they exist alongside one another. Intrinsically linked yet rarely ever together. Both so guarded but somehow know the deepest parts of their sparks in a way no one else could even reach. Their story carved in stone, reflected in art, and written in the stars.

Optimus Prime and Megatron: the most beautiful tragedy.
