* FailureMontage -- The puzzle "[[https://puzzles.mit.edu/2019/puzzle/safety_training.html Safety Montage]]" depicts a list of horrible injuries or deaths ... [[spoiler:which all came from Advertising/DumbWaysToDie]].
* FoodAsBribe -- The [[https://puzzles.mit.edu/2019/problem/valentines_day_presidents_day.html metapuzzle connecting Valentine's Day Town with President's Day Town]] involved some couples attempting to bribe voters with candy hearts, and teams need to find out how to decide the winner in light of that.
* HalloweenTown -- As with the original film, one of the towns visited is Halloween Town. It connects with Christmas Town (like in the film) but also Valentine's Day Town and Thanksgiving Town.
* HolidayEpisode -- As with all other MIT Mystery Hunts, this one takes place over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend but incorporates many other holidays. Martin Luther King Jr. is also represented as a town.
* HolidayMotif -- As with the original film, each holiday gets a town. Halloween Town and Christmas Town make a reprise from the original film, Valentine's Day Town and Thanksgiving Town become more prominent compared to the film, and Holi Town and Pi Day Town are entirely new towns for the hunt. Even the newly created Molasses Awareness Day becomes its own town.

[[spoiler:In particular, based on the solution to the metapuzzle "[[https://puzzles.mit.edu/2019/town/april_fools_day.html April Fool's Day Town]]", the April Fool is responsible for the pranks and is planning on going for Christmas next.]]
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent -- Part of the solution to the metapuzzle "[[https://puzzles.mit.edu/2019/town/april_fools_day.html April Fool's Day Town]]" involves [[spoiler:observing that all the main round towns except Christmas Town have a clock, which is used for extraction.]]
* MeritBadgesForEverything -- The puzzle "[[https://puzzles.mit.edu/2019/puzzle/badges_badges_badges.html Badges, Badges, Badges]]" involves working with 72 badges from various organizations.
* PunWithPi -- Two of the metapuzzles connecting Pi Day Town are more mathematical, but the one connecting with Holi Town is more on the food pie.
* SantaClaus -- One of the allies who delivers puzzles at a fixed time. This time, he and Jack Skellington are now on good terms, as the storyline of the film happened before the hunt and they both have a common problem to solve.
* SavingChristmas -- Thanks to the combined efforts of Jack, Santa, and the teams, the real culprit who planned on pranking Christmas Town got stopped in the endgame.
* ShoutOut -- Obviously, this puzzlehunt is a shout-out to WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas and expands on the holiday theming by incorporating more holidays.
* TwistedChristmas -- As with the original film, the first metapuzzle combines Christmas with Halloween via using all feeders from Christmas Town and only some feeders from Halloween Town, and the premise involved making peace with the Christmas people, who "just couldn't get along with the scary Halloween folk".

The winner of Recap/MITMysteryHunt2018, Setec Astronomy, pours in a lot of puzzles and celebrations!
In this ARG/MITMysteryHunt, the kick-off involved Setec Astronomy creating Molasses Awareness Day in remembrance of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919, which happened 100 years ago. However, a flood swept through many of the holidays in the Holiday Forest. In response, Santa Claus and [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]] got the teams to help solve the problems based on two of the holidays. The teams eventually found that the April Fool was responsible and was able to stop the flood.
The first team to do so, Left Out, got a coin (and a drip of molasses) and went on to host Recap/MITMysteryHunt2021.
* CrappyHolidays -- The holidays that are affected by the flood become filled with problems that teams need to solve throughout the hunt.
* HalloweenTown -- As with the original film, one of the towns visited is Halloween Town. It connects with Christmas Town (like in the film) but also Valentine's Day Town and Thanksgiving Town.
* HolidayMotif -- As with the original film, each holiday gets a town. Halloween Town and Christmas Town make a reprise from the original film, Valentine's Day Town and Thanksgiving Town become more prominent compared to the film, and Holi Town and Pi Day Town are entirely new towns for the hunt. Even the newly created Molasses Awareness Day becomes its own town.
