* ExactWords: In the future, Scrooge demands to see someone who feels "emotion" at the mysterious man's death (knowing deep down that the man is himself). The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come promptly takes him to see Mrs. Dilber happily selling the dead man's belongings that she stole. Scrooge then demands to see "tenderness and depth of feeling" instead. The Ghost complies... but the tenderness and depth of feeling he shows isn't for Scrooge, but for Tiny Tim as the Cratchits mourn his death.

* FellAsleepCrying: After the visit to his own future grave, Scrooge finds himself back in his bedroom at night, rather than on Christmas morning as in most versions. The scene ends with Scrooge kneeling beside his bed in tears as he repeats his vow to change his life. Cut to the next morning, and Scrooge wakes up still on his knees, slumped against the bed, implying that he cried himself to sleep.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The Ghost of Christmas Present first appears to Scrooge in good cheer - as per his usual portrayal - laughing wildly and surprising Scrooge of his "family:" the ghosts of over a thousand Christmases hence. However, once Scrooge comments on his family in terms of business - "a great many mouths to provide for" - the tone changes and Christmas Present's manner ''instantly drops.'' Though he doesn't comment, he turns hard and cold and he immediately gets down to business, foreshadowing the nature of their conversations going forward.

The book says that he wore a dressing gown over his day clothes and didn’t undress into a nightgown after Marley’s visit: Thus secured against surprise, he took off his cravat; put on his dressing-gown and slippers, and his night-cap; and sat down before the fire to take his gruel.” “Scrooge closed the window, and examined the door by which the Ghost had entered. It was double-locked, as he had locked it with his own hands, and the bolts were undisturbed. He tried to say “Humbug!” but stopped at the first syllable. And being, from the emotion he had undergone, or the fatigues of the day, or his glimpse of the Invisible World, or the dull conversation of the Ghost, or the lateness of the hour, much in need of repose, went straight to bed without undressing, and fell asleep upon the instant.”

* YoungerThanHeLooks: The Ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge a scene where Belle and her husband mention Jacob Marley being on his deathbed, seven years before the present. Belle's youngest child is still a toddler, which means that she couldn't possibly be much past 40 at the time. Assuming that Scrooge and Belle are approximately the same age, this implies that seven years later, Scrooge is still in early middle age and thus considerably younger than he looks.
