* WordOfGod: Creator/CharlesSchulz later stated he never intended for the Great Pumpkin to have any underlying religious symbolism. He just thought it'd be funny for Linus to get Halloween customs mixed up with Christmas. This, of course, has not stopped [[DeathOfTheAuthor some people]] from believing that such symbolism is there.



* ShortRunInPeru: For unclear reasons, it debuted in Canada on Creator/{{CBC}} on October 26, 1966--one day before its formal Creator/{{CBS}} premiere.

* FranchiseKiller: Subverted. CBS warned the crew that if this special failed to generate ratings as high as those received for ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'' less than a year earlier, they would not commission any more ''Peanuts'' cartoons. The network literally said it had to be a "blockbuster". Not only did it actually exceed ''Christmas'''s 1965 debut ratings, it ended up tying for the #1 most watched program of the week with ''{{Series/Bonanza}}'', which was a ratings GIANT at the time. This ensured that the franchise would continue to make new cartoons for a long time, even after Charles Schulz's death.

* ChildrenVoicingChildren: As per usual ''Peanuts'' practice. One notable thing is that Cathy Steinberg, the original Sally in ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'', was now old enough to actually read her script, rather than just get fed the lines phonetically, so she gives a much more polished performance.

** Speaking of Steinberg, she actually had a loose tooth when recording her lines as Sally, and she was afraid of it coming out having her speak with a lisp. As soon as she finished recording her rant to Linus, her tooth went flying out of her mouth!
