* AdaptationalNiceGuy: When the boys are shown in the booth recording their lines for "The Spirit of Christmas", Stan reads his lines in a cordial tone, whereas [[WesternAnimation/TheSpiritOfChristmas in the actual short]], he was almost as abrasive as Cartman. Furthermore, Stan's line, "that's a stupid song" in regards to the dreidel song is also omitted in favor of jumping right to Cartman and Kyle's fight over Hannukah.

* ShoutOut: The ''Circle of Poo'' musical sequence is an obvious parody of ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Circle of Life]]''. That the normally high-pitched Cornwallis sings with the [[BadassBaritone much deeper]] voice of [[Music/TheTemptations Louis Price]] is an exaggerated riff on how [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney animated films]] would often have separate voice actors for characters' speaking and singing voices.
