[[folder:A FLCL Christmas in Gravity Falls]]
* BadassSanta: Not just any Santa, a Santa Claus who happens to be a parody of Wrestling/HulkHogan!
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Uno reveals that Creator/DrSeuss, along with other classic writers of children's literature, were secretly members of a covert group of demon hunters using their books as a cover for their real occupations. He also namedrops Creator/LewisCarroll, Creator/MauriceSendak, Creator/UrsulaKLeGuin, and Creator/JKRowling as members.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Due to how long it's been since ''Ride on Shooting Star'' has occured, the characters have developed since then accordingly.
** With Gwen no longer an EmotionlessGirl, she has formed a FreudianTrio with Tyrone and Arnold with her as TheSpock to Tyrone's TheMcCoy and Arnold's TheKirk.
** Haruko and Jinyu have become much closer since leaving Gravity Falls thanks to the Pines' PositiveFriendInfluence, almost acting like sisters to the point where Haruko calls Jinyu her OneeSama. Jinyu has also settled into the role of TeamMom to the kids.
** Stan Junior is characterized as TheBabyOfTheBunch due to having more screentime, as well as becoming a MoralityPet for Krampus.
* ChristmasEpisode: Well, duh!
* FamilyOfChoice: Due to most of Haruko's known family having died along with her home planet, she declares that the Pines might as well be her new family. While everyone is happy to hear it, Stan declares that this makes their prior interactions weird in retrospect.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The numerous references to ''Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' are all building up to the reveal that an EldritchAbomination version of the Grinch himself is the villain of the special.
* {{Hellhound}}: The Grinch's guard dog Max is described as looking like Cerberus with a horn on each of his three heads.
* HiddenDepths: Krampus is annoyed that people mostly know him as a monster when he is far more layered than that, saying that he likes craft brewing, trashy reality shows, old film noirs, Zumba, and reading anime fanfiction. Likewise, Jinyu says she's developed interests in coffee, yoga, opera singing, jewelry making, archaeology, and basketball.
* TheKrampus: Krampus serves as one of the main characters of this story, having been accused of framing Santa Claus of war crimes and has recruited the Pines family and their friends to help him clear their names.
* MistakenForRacist: Ezra angers the elves by calling them dwarves, which the bartender says is their equivalent to calling a little person a dwarf.
* NoodleIncident: The Pines have had repeated run-ins with a race of tree demons every time they go out to find a Christmas tree.
** Haruko and Jinyu got in trouble with Italian police for defacing the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
** Haruko got into a fight with Manga/BoboboBoBobobo, Film/TheMask, and ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} that resulted in the destruction of Staten Island.
** Stan was at Pirates World in Florida during the filming of ''Film/SantaAndTheIceCreamBunny'' where he got into a drunken fistfight with Jay Clark.
** Dipper and Mabel's grandfather was presumed deceased after he got run over by a reindeer when they visited him for Thanksgiving. It was really awkward.
** A female elf was in a relationship with Schmebulock until 1982 when he broke her heart.
* SavingChristmas: Of the "Santa's In The Slammer" variety. The premise is that Santa is going to be executed for crimes against humanity that the Krampus has allegedly framed him for, and Dipper & Mabel and friends venture to the North Pole to solve the mystery.
* SeinfeldianConversation: Tyrone reveals that he doesn't like [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Hinata Hyuga]] in the exact same fashion as [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Peter Griffin saying he did not care for]] ''Film/TheGodfather'', which prompts a similar discussion.
-->'''Juan:''' How can you even say that? [[{{Moe}} She's a beautiful cinnamon roll! She's too pure for this world!]]
-->'''Tyrone:''' And that's exactly why I don't care for her! People only like her because [[ShrinkingViolet she's a cute, shy girl]] with [[BuxomBeautyStandard huge honkers.]] Now [[BaseBreakingCharacter Sakura]], there's someone with actual personality beyond just looking good, yet everyone hates her because she's mean to Naruto! Newsflash: [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer everyone was mean to Naruto!]] Is she always singled out because of her gender?!
-->'''Juan:''' What makes you think this has anything to do with gender?
-->'''Tyrone:''' It's called {{Double Standard}}s!
-->'''Imelda:''' [[LampshadeHanging I can't believe we're having this discussion.]]

** The coded message is a parody of "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" when decoded.
** One of the Christmas trees that Gwen, Tyrone and Arnold discover is practically the same tree found by [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]] in ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas''.

** Ford entertains Stan Junior by telling him stories of his adventures, like facing off against [[Manga/ChainsawMan the Control Devil]] and [[Series/DoctorWho Davros and the Daleks]].

** While talking about her and Jinyu's adventures together, Haruko mentions how they got in trouble for trying to make the Leaning Tower of Pisa lean to the other side while showing mugshots [[Film/{{Barbie}} of a stoic Jinyu and Haruko striking a pose.]]
** When the Vespa Twins took a trip to New York, Haruko mentions how she got into a fight with [[Manga/BoboboBoBobobo a man who fought her with his nose hairs]] instead of [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles mutant turtles]], Film/{{ghostbusters}}, [[ComicBook/SpiderMan spider-men]], WesternAnimation/{{gargoyles}}, or [[WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar funny penguin spies]]. In addition, the fight also involved [[Film/TheMask a green-faced man with a bright yellow zoot suit]] and [[ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} a man dressed in a red and black costume armed to the teeth with guns and swords]].
** When the Krampus turns on the radio to show everyone the news of Santa's arrest, he flickers through channels dedicated to [[Anime/FLCLProgressiveAndAlternative progressive, alternative]], [[Anime/FLCLGrungeAndShoegaze grunge, shoegaze]], and Christmas music before tuning into a report by [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged TJ and The Wombat]].
** This line of ChekhovsGun personified when Ezra visits the Mystery Shack with a fruitcake to deliver.

** The incident that ruined Santa and Krampus's relationship was when Krampus visited [[Film/{{Krampus}} the Engel family]] to punish them for their loss of Christmas spirit.
** WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer is depicted as a surly, cigar-chomping GrumpyBear who never quite forgave Santa for taking advantage of his red nose and not protecting him from bullies. However, he is still a caring husband towards his wife Clarice.
** Ian interrogates [[Film/ChildsPlay a Good Guy doll]] that quickly tries to kill him.
** After being defeated and tied up by the elves, Haruko says this, doubling as an ActorAllusion to another notable role by Creator/KariWahlgren.
-->'''Haruko:''' [[Anime/SamuraiChamploo Mugen, Jin, is that you guys? Don't fight just yet; we still need to look for the sunflower guy!]]
** Before his group get tossed out into the cold by the elves, Juan takes a moment to yell [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E5RevengeOfTheCybermen "EZRA CHIU IS AN IMBECILE!"]]
** Uno, [[MeaningfulName the first of Santa's elves]], introduces himself in the exact same fashion as [[Film/{{Jaws}} Quint]], right down to telling the story of a Christmas incident in Nazi Germany in a similar fashion to Quint's U.S.S Indianapolis story. In addition, Uno says that Quint actually saved his life that time.
** This scene where Uno reveals where the BigBad lives.
-->'''Uno:''' That is right, this creature resides in [[LargeHam the SOOOOOOUTH POOOOOOLE!]]
-->'''Mabel:''' The South Pole? Sounds fun!
-->'''Uno:''' [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Prepare to be surprised]].
** During the journey to the South Pole on Santa's yacht, a drunken Krampus tells the story of his brief fling with ComicBook/JingleBelle. In response, Stan tells the story of his six-hour marriage to [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Marilyn]], while Ford reveals that he teamed up with [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer the Scooby Gang]] only to fall in love with a vampire they were supposed to kill.
** As the Twelve Days gets closer to the South Pole, the kids sit down to discuss their favorite kinds of anime. Tyrone loves shonen anime and wants to be best friends with [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]]. Gwen is more into psychological anime like ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''Manga/GhostInTheShell'', ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'', and ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''.

Juan and Jorge like sitting down to riff on {{isekai}} anime. Imelda has been getting Abby into ''Manga/SailorMoon'' and ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''. And finally, Ezra says he likes sports and science fiction anime while hiding the fact that he's a ''Manga/{{Keijo}}'' fan with a crush on Mio Kusakai, who Leia believes to look like her.
** When talking about how she's been trying to set herself apart from Haruko, Jinyu says that she's gotten into coffee, yoga, [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses opera singing]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighter6 jewelry making]], [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl archaeology]], and [[Anime/KurokosBasketball basketball]], all of them being references to roles by Creator/AllegraClark.
** The South Pole is inhabited by an abominable snowman, reindeer with rabies, mutated elks, and killer misfit toys. Gwen is chased by a rampaging spotted elephant while Tyrone nearly has his soul taken by a CreepyDoll resembling Dolly for Sue.
** The radio comes into play at the South Pole when Juan tunes into a station to play "[[Music/MariahCarey All I Want For Christmas Is You]]".
-->'''Radio:''' [[WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge!" Coming up next, we got some hot cheesy Christmas music comin' at you from DOUBLE-OH BALLYHOO!]]
** When the Grinch is first revealed, he asks if the heroes are here to save Christmas.
-->'''Dipper:''' That sounds like a pretty fair assessment.
-->'''Ford:''' More or less, I guess.
-->'''Mabel:''' That sounds awesome, let's do that!
-->'''Stan:''' I'm open to the concept.
-->'''Krampus:''' [[WebAnimation/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WE WERE HERE FOR, COME ON YOU GUYS!]]
** Ian wonders why the Grinch doesn't sound like Creator/BorisKarloff, Creator/JimCarrey, or Creator/BenedictCumberbatch, to which the Grinch responds by revealing that they're all adaptations of him.
** Uno reveals that he survived his DisneyDeath by yelling [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda "I'm not dead, you idiots!"]]
** As the gang is about to be killed by the Grinch, Tyrone reveals [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy one more secret he must share with them. He does not care for]] [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Hinata Hyuga.]]
** The song playing during Santa's BigDamnHeroes moment is a Christmas-themed parody of Hulk Hogan's entrance theme "Real American". It is then followed up by this.
-->'''Santa:''' [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia That's right, brother, everything will be alright! Why? Because I am here!]] And let me tell ya something, brother! Whatcha gonna do when Santa Claus decks the halls all over you?!
** Juan taunts Max by calling him [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Pongo]] and WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}.
** Santa yells [[Literature/TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas "On Haruko, on Canti, on Dipper and Gwen! On Stanley, on Stanford! On Tyrone and Ian! To the top of the mountain and back to Gravity Falls! Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"]] before using Jinyu's car to make his deliveries. Later, the Krampus is given the chance to say "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
** Tyrone declares that a girl at school with a crush on [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians the cute teenage boy version of Jack Frost]] is going to be so jealous that he got to sit on the real Santa's lap and help pull his sleigh.
** Leia says [[Film/DieHard "Yippie-kay-yay."]] after kissing Ezra goodnight once everyone is brought back to Gravity Falls.
** Fitting with his desire to become friends with Goku, Tyrone gets his own Power Pole for Christmas from Jinyu.
** As her Christmas present to Haruko, Jinyu gives her ''Atomsk'' by Creator/CordwainerSmith. Haruko [[LamePunReaction is not amused with the pun]], since she was expecting to be given the Pirate King, and violently attacks Jinyu for disappointing her.
** Ian receives Creator/ChristopherNolan and Creator/GretaGerwig for Christmas as his mentors in filmmaking. When it's implied that they were actually kidnapped by Santa's elves, Soos remarks that [[Film/TheGuardiansOfTheGalaxyHolidaySpecial the last time this happened]] was with Creator/KevinBacon.
** At the end of the film when everyone gets together at the Mystery Shack for Christmas dinner, the tree demons return for revenge on the Pines, causing Mabel to shout [[Film/ThreeHundred "FOR TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!]]
** The final lines of the special.

** Before his group get tossed out into the cold by the elves, Juan takes a moment to yell [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E5RevengeOfTheCybermen "EZRA CHIU IS AN IMBECILE!"]]
** Uno, [[MeaningfulName the first of Santa's elves]], introduces himself in the exact same fashion as [[Film/{{Jaws}} Quint]], right down to telling the story of a Christmas incident in Nazi Germany in a similar fashion to Quint's U.S.S Indianapolis story. In addition, Uno says that Quint actually saved his life that time.
** This scene where Uno reveals where the BigBad lives.
-->'''Uno:''' That is right, this creature resides in [[LargeHam the SOOOOOOUTH POOOOOOLE!]]
-->'''Mabel:''' The South Pole? Sounds fun!
-->'''Uno:''' [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Prepare to be surprised]].
** During the journey to the South Pole on Santa's yacht, a drunken Krampus tells the story of his brief fling with ComicBook/JingleBelle. In response, Stan tells the story of his six-hour marriage to [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Marilyn]], while Ford reveals that he teamed up with [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer the Scooby Gang]] only to fall in love with a vampire they were supposed to kill.
** As the Twelve Days gets closer to the South Pole, the kids sit down to discuss their favorite kinds of anime. Tyrone loves shonen anime and wants to be best friends with [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]]. Gwen is more into psychological anime like ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', ''Manga/GhostInTheShell'', ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'', and ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. Arnold likes {{Iyashikei}} anime like ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'' and ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke''. Ian and Leia love mecha anime, particularly SuperRobot series like ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. Juan and Jorge like sitting down to riff on {{isekai}} anime. Imelda has been getting Abby into ''Manga/SailorMoon'' and ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''. And finally, Ezra says he likes sports and science fiction anime while hiding the fact that he's a ''Manga/{{Keijo}}'' fan with a crush on Mio Kusakai, who Leia believes to look like her.
** When talking about how she's been trying to set herself apart from Haruko, Jinyu says that she's gotten into coffee, yoga, [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses opera singing]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighter6 jewelry making]], [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl archaeology]], and [[Anime/KurokosBasketball basketball]], all of them being references to roles by Creator/AllegraClark.
** The South Pole is inhabited by an abominable snowman, reindeer with rabies, mutated elks, and killer misfit toys. Gwen is chased by a rampaging spotted elephant while Tyrone nearly has his soul taken by a CreepyDoll resembling Dolly for Sue.
** The radio comes into play at the South Pole when Juan tunes into a station to play "[[Music/MariahCarey All I Want For Christmas Is You]]".
-->'''Radio:''' [[WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge!" Coming up next, we got some hot cheesy Christmas music comin' at you from DOUBLE-OH BALLYHOO!]]
** When the Grinch is first revealed, he asks if the heroes are here to save Christmas.
-->'''Dipper:''' That sounds like a pretty fair assessment.
-->'''Ford:''' More or less, I guess.
-->'''Mabel:''' That sounds awesome, let's do that!
-->'''Stan:''' I'm open to the concept.
-->'''Krampus:''' [[WebAnimation/FinalFantasyVIIMachinabridged I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT WE WERE HERE FOR, COME ON YOU GUYS!]]
** Ian wonders why the Grinch doesn't sound like Creator/BorisKarloff, Creator/JimCarrey, or Creator/BenedictCumberbatch, to which the Grinch responds by revealing that they're all adaptations of him.
** Uno reveals that he survived his DisneyDeath by yelling [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda "I'm not dead, you idiots!"]]
** As the gang is about to be killed by the Grinch, Tyrone reveals [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy one more secret he must share with them. He does not care for]] [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Hinata Hyuga.]]
** The song playing during Santa's BigDamnHeroes moment is a Christmas-themed parody of Hulk Hogan's entrance theme "Real American". It is then followed up by this.
-->'''Santa:''' [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia That's right, brother, everything will be alright! Why? Because I am here!]] And let me tell ya something, brother! Whatcha gonna do when Santa Claus decks the halls all over you?!
** Juan taunts Max by calling him [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Pongo]] and WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}.
** Santa yells [[Literature/TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas "On Haruko, on Canti, on Dipper and Gwen! On Stanley, on Stanford! On Tyrone and Ian! To the top of the mountain and back to Gravity Falls! Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"]] before using Jinyu's car to make his deliveries. Later, the Krampus is given the chance to say "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
** Tyrone declares that a girl at school with a crush on [[WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians the cute teenage boy version of Jack Frost]] is going to be so jealous that he got to sit on the real Santa's lap and help pull his sleigh.
** Leia says [[Film/DieHard "Yippie-kay-yay."]] after kissing Ezra goodnight once everyone is brought back to Gravity Falls.
** Fitting with his desire to become friends with Goku, Tyrone gets his own Power Pole for Christmas from Jinyu.
** As her Christmas present to Haruko, Jinyu gives her ''Atomsk'' by Creator/CordwainerSmith. Haruko [[LamePunReaction is not amused with the pun]], since she was expecting to be given the Pirate King, and violently attacks Jinyu for disappointing her.
** Ian receives Creator/ChristopherNolan and Creator/GretaGerwig for Christmas as his mentors in filmmaking. When it's implied that they were actually kidnapped by Santa's elves, Soos remarks that [[Film/TheGuardiansOfTheGalaxyHolidaySpecial the last time this happened]] was with Creator/KevinBacon.
** At the end of the film when everyone gets together at the Mystery Shack for Christmas dinner, the tree demons return for revenge on the Pines, causing Mabel to shout [[Film/ThreeHundred "FOR TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL!]]
** The final lines of the special.
-->'''Krampus:''' [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife Look, Junior, it's said that every time Santa throws some hands, an angel gains its wings.]]
-->'''Stan Junior:''' [[Literature/AChristmasCarol God bwess us evewyone.]]
