* HopeSpot: Flash has trouble finding the popular present, but gets the last one at the company. Then it gets broken during a fight with the Ultra-Humanite. Averted in the end since Flash's speech about giving children hope actually gets through to the villain, who fixes the toy and then gives himself up.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: After a fashion. Having expected a dancing, rapping, farting personality from a DJ Rubber Ducky, the children are understandably nonplussed when he starts speaking the Humanite's voice and tells them the story of [[Theatre/TheNutcracker]] instead. Once he gets going, though, they seem to appreciate it more.

* PresentPeeking: Superman[=/=]Clark Kent's parents mention how young Clark used to peek at his presents with his X-ray vision. Later that night, (adult) Clark sneaks into the room with the tree—and finds his presents are all wrapped in X-ray-blocking lead foil.

* NoSympathy: After being pushed back onto the DJ Rubber Ducky toy by Flash, Humanite is contemptuous of giving children such a crude toy and suggests they'd be better off with literature by Voltaire. Despite this, Flash's impassioned speech about giving orphans goodwill at Christmas get through to him and he agrees to fix it -- albeit replacing the ToiletHumor with a recording of him narrating ''Literature/TheNutcracker''.
