* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Pinkie Pie notes that the family has a tradition of hiding presents for each other, but no-one ever finds them, possibly implying that no-one actually hides any in the first place (other than Pinkie Pie) or that the presents were rocks and no-one can tell the difference.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: Every time Applejack mentions part of how the Apple family celebrates Hearth's Warming, Pinkie says her family does the same thing. She's technically correct that they both place dolls on the fireplace mantle, have a special Hearth's Warming Eve dinner, exchange presents, and raise the Equestria flag, but the details of their traditions couldn't be more different.

** The plot is largely pivoted by this being between Pinkie Pie and Applejack. While this episode and many others tend to show them on the [[CloudCuckooLander far]] [[TheEveryman opposite]] sides of the spectrum, both are shown to be incredibly passionate about the holiday and overeager for both families to get along. This also places spotlight on both characters' occasionally bullheaded inability to notice [[InnocentlyInsensitive their ways and preferences are not always for the best for others.]]
