5* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: Kelso tells Eliot that she's going to end up in OB-GYN because that's where most women doctors end up. The episode centers on her awkward relationship with a pregnant patient and JD filming the birth of Cox's friend's baby.
6* ChekhovsGun: The light over the park that Turk uses as a metaphor for the star that guided the wise men shows up at the end as his inspiration to find Eliot's missing patient.
7* CrisisOfFaith: Turk briefly loses faith after he spends Christmas Eve dealing with the sorts of horrors you encounter in an emergency room.
8* EurekaMoment: Seeing the light over the park inspires Turk to run and find Eliot's patient... even though he had no way of knowing she'd be there.
9* MsFanservice: Nurse Tisdale shows up oiled up and wearing a bikini in JD's ImagineSpot.
10* ShoutOut: JD's ImagineSpot recreates the ImagineSpot of Phoebe Cates in a red bikini taking off her top in ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh''.
11* SurprisePregnancy: Eliot's patient is pregnant, pretty far along, and completely unaware. She gives birth in the park at the end of the episode.
12* TheTwelveSpoofsOfChristmas: Turk's faith is tested by the many, many difficulties he has to deal with on Christmas Eve. They play it for laughs until they don't.
