The Christmas Putsch (Creeperian Spanish: Golpe de Estado de Navidad), also called the 1923 Creeperian putsch or 1923 Creeperian coup d'état attempt, occurred on 25 December 1923. The putsch attempted to overthrow the Creeperian Parliament as part of the Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front’s plan of a Creeperian Revolution.
