* [[ChristmasEpisode "Little Drummer Warners,"]] a whole episode that's a recitation of slightly-edited versions of "We Three Kings" and "Little Drummer Boy." It shows the Wise Men and the Warner Brother (and Sister) Shepherds visiting the baby Jesus, with the latter giving a loud but earnestly cheerful and appreciated show.

* After spending most of the episode, "Cutie and The Beast", arguing and bickering with each other, Yakko and Wakko comfort Dot towards the end with a group hug. Dot may not be able to get the man she wanted but at least Yakko, Wakko, and Dot have reconciled.

* The ending of the Chicken Boo ChristmasEpisode, where after the usual routine of everyone turning against him after his cover is blown, Chicken Boo is rescued by Santa and is given a ride in his sleigh while elves sing for him.

Fans now understand why Tress never used social media and give great respect for her privacy and safety. Wakko really knows how to protect his baby sister.

* The "Variety Speak" song segment ends with [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2021_09_08_204248.png Yakko, Wakko, and Dot embracing in a group hug]] and all three grinning at the camera, which is another rare moment for the entire series.

* The "Variety Speak" song segment ends with Yakko hugging Wakko and Dot and all three grinning at the camera.

* While "A Very, Very, Very, Special Show" was mostly comedic, at one point Yakko, Wakko, and Dot embrace in a group hug, which is extremely rare in the entire series. Nevertheless, this really shows how Yakko, Wakko, and Dot really cared for each other and that no matter what they face, they'll always have each other's back. What made it more sweeter is when, while hugging his siblings, Yakko kisses Dot and Wakko on the head. Awwww...

* The Warners deciding to give their award to Buddy at the end of their 65th Anniversary special. Sure, he was a boring dweeb and [[spoiler:was plotting to kill them with a bomb he hid in the podium]], but they liked the guy and felt they owed it to him for his part in making them famous (i.e. by repeatedly smashing him with giant mallets). One interviewee mentions that when the studio made the decision to fire Buddy, the Warner siblings were the ''only'' ones who went to bat for him and tried to save his job. Hell, Buddy himself is touched [[spoiler: and immediately forgets all about his revenge scheme]] when he overhears them talking about him and rushes onto the stage. The Warners greet him with a surprised and happy "Buddy!!" since they had no idea he'd be there. [[spoiler: Of course, Buddy then gets blown up with his own bomb, but since he's a cartoon and gets cheered for it, it's not exactly a bad ending for him.]]
