* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Kenan has finally earned all the money he needs to purchase his mountain bike, but he can't stop thinking about the impoverished mother who is unable to afford presents for her children. She specifically told him not to worry about it; the only other person who knows about the situation is Kel; and Kenan has legitimately earned all of the cash he needs through his jobs and saving throughout the year. But he ultimately chooses to spend the money on the poor family instead. He's even content to keep the secret to himself--the only reason his family finds out is because Kel tells them, and even then, Kenan insists that "it was nothing."

* SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat: PlayedForLaughs with the little girl from "Fishlakia" who comes to see Santa!Kenan. Kenan is suddenly able to speak fluent Fishlakian (which is nonsensical gibberish), even singing a version of "Jingle Bells" in the language. As noted under ShoutOut, it's a reference to a similar scene in ''Film/MiracleOn34thStreet'', which had a Dutch girl in the original and a Deaf girl in the 1994 remake.
