It is usually applied to situations where an event with one meaning becomes obscured by a large amount of sales activity timed to coincide with it. In the case of Christmas in the US, this religious holiday typically includes decorating the house in a traditional manner, cooking a large meal and giving personal gifts. The sales community have responded by having sales to promote purchasing larger gifts, development of more elaborate decorations and the idea that you want to have larger decorations than your neighbors, and holding a series of "Christmas related" sales events that have nothing to do with Christmas other than the timing of them just before and just after the holiday. So Christmas sales, Christmas plates, Christmas light-up figures - all of these are part of the commercialization of a religious holiday.
