Surprise Santa Encounter
The Japanese adore the secular parts of Christmas. They're also rather fond of Santa Claus.
While they won't let it get in the way of the plot too much, they will give a nod to it in some anime episode plots.
The Surprise Santa Encounter goes like this. The characters are running around doing whatever... and then suddenly, Santa Claus! Right there!
Recursive Inspiration
Recursive Inspiration is when a work inspires another work which in turn inspires a newer installment of the original work.
For instance, someone makes work A, then another person inspired by work A makes work B, work A gets a new installment or adaptation inspired partly by work B or containing elements from it. Also includes franchises that see a boost in popularity due to being featured in the works they inspired.
