* GenderFlip: The main plot is very similar to Hans Christian Andersen's "Literature/TheLittleMermaid": a water elemental falls in love with a human after rescuing them from drowning and becomes human in order to win their love. Added to that, the love interest never realizes the truth, and marries a noble who they believe was the one who saved their life. To further cement this, the elemental "dies" at their loved one's marriage to another. Ironically, the mermaid's ultimate fate, as a spirit unseen by humans, is how Jack starts [[spoiler: and ends]] the special.

* RefreshinglyNormalLifeChoice: Jack Frost tells Father Winter that he wants to be human because, as the spirit of winter he's invisible to humans and can't share their fun when they appreciate his snow. He sings he wants to be an ordinary guy so he would fall in love and have a simple life, instead of being the spirit of winter, and concludes tearfully that "it's lonely being one of a kind." Touched, Father Winter agrees into turning him temporarily into a human, but adverts him that, until the first day of spring, he must have earned a wife, a home to shelter, a horse and a bag of gold, or else he will become a sprite again.
