Trivia
- In Tahiti, there is a girl resembling Lisa Jr. from Missionary: Impossible.
- The voice of Santa Claus in Grampa's story greatly resembles the voice of Robot Santa from Matt Groening's other animated show Futurama. Also, the sleigh noises are exactly like those of the Planet Express ship.
- This marks the 365th episode, making it able for a different episode to air every day of the year (except in leap years).
- When we see Reverend Lovejoy talk about "so many plastic Christmases ruined", one of the figures lying on the table is Mr. Burns.
- This is one of the few episodes where there are three mini-stories, the most common ones being the "Treehouse of Horror" episodes.
- The fourth episode of The Simpsons to date to air with a parental advisory warning before the episode in Australia for "adult themes". (Originally scheduled to air May 9, 2006 on Network Ten, but was pre-empted and replaced with "How I Spent My Strummer Vacation")
Cultural references
- Homer amuses Bart with Three Stooges gags.

- Krusty's sidekick in 1964 bears a striking resemblance to Woody Allen, though his hairdo is very much like Sideshow Mel's.
- Mr. Burns strikes the classic Betty Grable pinup pose from World War II.
