* ImagineSpot: One of the few things Ralphie has retained from his childhood.

* ReformedBully: Scut Farkus.

* CoolUncle: Randy is this in spades for Ralphie's kids, Mark and Sandy.

** Scut Farkus, of all people, sees himself as this when he [[spoiler: arrests Ralphie for breaking and entering Flick's Tavern and ends up just dropping him off at home, feeling that he owes him for their fight straightening him out]]. He rightfully points out that, had it been literally any other officer, Ralphie [[spoiler: would be in jail for Christmas.]].

* OhCrap: In the trailer, Ralphie agrees to his elderly mother's request to organize a magical Christmas like the Old Man had always done. The minute her back is turned, a look of horror flashes across Ralphie's face and his narration reveals that he is in way over his head.

* CallBack: From the trailer:
** Ralphie and his wife take their kids to the department store to see Santa. As they're running to get in line, Ralphie tells them, "Don't let him kick you in face!"
** Flick "triple dog dares" Schwartz into performing a physically dangerous stunt (quite possibly as payback for Schwartz daring Flick into the pole incident), with the implication made that it doesn't end well for Schwartz.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: In the trailer, Flick's recommendation to Ralphie over his predicament is to start drinking and not stop until New Year's.

* TheAllegedCar: Ralphie's 1966 Plymouth sedan has a bad radiator--which Ralph feeds a regular diet of eggs to seal it up--and a faulty trunk latch. It's pretty much the GenerationXerox version of the Old Man's 1937 Oldsmobile. Quirks aside, it's a CoolCar by virtue of being a 1966 Plymouth in otherwise solid condition and getting the family from point A to B without fault.
