** Also related to the third film is editing the cover to reference Dante and Vergil from ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', due to the Red vs Blue theming, the way Jack Frost's ice hair resembles Vergil's slick-back silver hair, and how Dante has an aged appearance and a growing beard in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5''.

** [[spoiler: The sequel series confirms that the previous Santa ''did'' in fact plan the whole thing, as he meant for Scott to take over for him. He had let the elves in on it well in advance which was why they seemed to just roll with it when Scott showed up.]]

* AluminumChristmasTrees: 1-800-SPANK-ME, the phone number Scott invents for Neal's mother, is real. It got Disney in a heap of trouble when curious kids racked up huge phone bills for their parents. The scene was edited out starting with the first DVD release.

** Denny's being out of various items like eggnog, chocolate milk and apple pie was relatable for 90s kids who grew up eating there regularly. The joke was that Denny's menu was so vast that the restaurants would run out of certain items on a regional basis. Scott's line about Denny's being "always open" was also a crack against why the restaurants were understocked, being open 24 hours a day.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The very premise of the first film, in which Santa Claus ''falls off some random guy's roof and ultimately meets his demise'', right in front of a child who had just got done second-guessing his very existence! The whole scenario is so absurd that it comes back to being funny.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** Many viewers found the premise of the first film disturbing since Scott was forced against his will to take the role of Santa Claus, which caused him to physically and mentally change to fit the role and give up his entire life. The second film shows that he has managed to keep in touch with his family and is very close to his "niece" Lucy[[labelnote:*]]Laura and Neal's daughter, who regards Scott as an HonoraryUncle[[/labelnote]], with whom he has apparently had regular contact as she recognizes him at once without his usual guise as Santa. Plus he is familiar with Charlie's principal, implying he has managed to find time for a normal life between holiday seasons. The third film further mitigates this by revealing that there is actually an escape clause Scott could initiate that would allow him to change the past so he never becomes Santa. He's just come to enjoy the job out of his own free will so he doesn't bother.
** The second film raises a whole new problem in requiring that Santa have a wife, meaning some woman out there would be forced to give up HER life and live at the North Pole, which the 3rd film touches upon.

Added DiffLines:

* EstrogenBrigade: While the film is mostly aimed at young boys, it has a fairly large fanbase of females due to Creator/DavidKrumholtz as Bernard the Elf, with his good looks and DeadpanSnarker personality making him the childhood crush of many 90s girls.
