* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Inverted. It's our modern heroes who are out of place in Mr. Jingle's preserved 1932 world. As exemplified, there's an exchange between Ben and Elsgood where the former is astounded the latter only knows outdated words like "skedaddle" and "spiffy". In turn, Elsgood is baffled when Ben uses the term "dude".
* FisherKingdom: After a prolonged stay in the Christmas Town, Ben and Gwen start turning into elves, as evidenced when their eyes become beady, their cheeks turn rosy and their ears grow pointy.
* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Somehow, a man in 1932 gained access to highly advanced, enchanted technology to lock a pocket of dilated time around a small town and transform the children present into elves.

"dude".



* NarniaTime: The flow of time within Christmas Town is so dilated from the outside, Elsgood thinks it's only been a few days when he's been in there since ''1932''.
* ShoutOut: At the end, a grown up Elsgood is seen with three kids that look like [[{{Anime/Naruto}} Konohamaru and his friends]]. One even has a t-shirt depicting a swirled lollipop, emulating the Hidden Leaf Village's insignia, to drive the reference home.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When Ben and Gwen last meet Elsgood, he's initially unrecognizable as an old man with grandchildren of his own. But when his grandchildren ask to further explore the Christmas amusement park, he affectionately uses the 1930s jargon "skedaddle". Ben and Gwen instantly recognize him then, as he confirms his identity with a wink.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Mr. Jingles wants the world to have a perfect Christmas. To this end he kidnaps, transforms, brainwashes and enslaves people to act as elves and Santa, to give the world his idea of a perfect Christmas. He's been working since 1932 doing this, keeping children from their families on Christmas all this time.

* MeaningfulEcho: When Mr. Jingles fusses over how Ben's meddling has ruined his plans to give the world the perfect Christmas, it's Max who advises that Christmas is less about presents and more about the family and generosity. Later, when everything has returned to normal, our heroes discover a statue with Mr. Jingles quoting Max verbatim. Sweetly, this indicates how he relented his [[WellIntentionedExtremist extremist approach]] to Christmas and took Max's advice to heart.
