"It's a Christmas Tumbleweed, okay?!"
A Plot: Brent and Lacey go to great lengths to find each other the perfect Christmas present.
B Plot: Hank gets conned into helping Oscar and Emma prep their annual Christmas party.
C Plot: Wanda goes to war with the cops over her extreme Christmas lights display.
- Absurdly Bright Light: There is a very blatant flash when Wanda turns on the decorations she sets up at Hank's house, though after attracting the cops' attention, it's quickly dimmed down to something manageable.
- Call-Back: Just like in the live-action Christmas episode, Hank once again takes up the Holiday Volunteering mantel, and once again misunderstands the situation (originally with a family that was just cheap, not needy, and this time with the Leroys taking advantage of his generosity).
- The Cameo: Not in the episode itself, but Canadian musician Craig Northey makes an appearance to help Brent perform the promotional "Everyone Can Sing At Christmas
". - Christmas Episode: The episode is set around Christmas (specifically the 23rd and 24th of December), and everyone's plots involve celebrating the holiday.
- Christmas Light Chaos: Although Wanda's able to successfully transfer most of her decorations to Hank's house, there's a notable tangle of lights on the front yard she admits she didn't have time to fix. When party guests arrive, she claims it's a "Christmas Tumbleweed".
- The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes: Because he's been so focused on doing good deeds and being, to quote Wanda, "a sweet, stupid sap", Hank doesn't have any decorations for his own house after attending to all of Oscar and Emma's needs. So Wanda decides to decorate his house for him.
- Creative Closing Credits: The outro music, rather than the usual, is replaced with a festive remix that includes lyrics about the Holiday Moose and Pumpkin juice from the A Plot. The opening credits is also slightly altered, in that the Corner Gas logo is outlined in festive lights.
- Dedication: The episode begins with one for Daved Storey, Executive Producer, who had entered (semi-)retirement.
- Escalating War: To get revenge after her personal electricity moderator is confiscated by the police (which she needs to power her Over-the-Top Christmas Decorations), Wanda completely coats the cop car in pink tinsel and rewires the siren to play holiday music (and also play automatically even when the cops try shutting it off). When Davis and Karen go to apologize, they see that Wanda already has another way to power her decorations (connecting directly to the power grid) in addition to having activated some "eggnog bombs" in the car, leading Wanda to get ticketed and forced to power everything down.
- Expospeak Gag: Wanda justifies her Over-the-Top Christmas Decorations with one. When Davis and Karen are stunned, Wanda muses aloud that an IQ test apparently isn't required for their jobs.
- Gosh Dang It to Heck!: When Davis and Karen try to placate Wanda by returning her electricity manager and learn that she's set up her house lights without it, Karen states that "Now we're Scrooged".
- Holiday Volunteering: The reason why Hank willingly (and gullibly) does all of the Leroys' chores while they fake being sick is because helping other people is what he believes Christmas is all about.
- Homemade Sweater from Hell: Brent describes the moose on the sweater he gets from Lacey as "crossed with Satan", and the neck hole is notably too large.
- Innocently Insensitive: When Brent asks his father if he's ever heard of Lacey's "Christmas Moose", Oscar thinks it's an insult, and retorts if Brent's ever heard of "Easter, jughead".
- Laser-Guided Karma: Impressed by Hank's displays of kindness, and after she's no longer allowed to set up decorations at her own house, Wanda decides to decorate his house for him and help organize a party there. Meanwhile, Oscar and Emma's party, which they had been looking forward to after manipulating Hank to do all the work, ends up cancelled because everyone believed they were sick. And when they come to Hank's party, claiming to feel better, they're asked to help set some things up.
- Mundane Made Awesome: When Brent asks some of the townsfolk about their own holiday traditions, people like Phil and Fitzy retell "outlandish" stories about making eggnog and leaving out cookies for Santa, seemingly unaware at how common those practices actually are.
- My New Gift Is Lame: Played with in The Tag. Brent gives Lacey a lovely bracelet as a make-up gift after the "Holiday Moose" plans go awry, which she loves...and she hates that she loves it, because the sweater she made was equally shoddy to the "Holiday Moose", and now she feels like she's in Brent's debt.
- Over-the-Top Christmas Decorations: Wanda's house is covered in so many decorations and lights that the electrical interference messes with the police's radios.
- Pink Is for Sissies: Wanda coats the cop car in pink tinsel as part of her revenge after the cops confiscate the device she was using to manage her electricity.
- Season Finale: This is the final episode of Animated Season 3.
- Snowball Lie: When Brent asks why Lacey has a picture of a moose, she lies and says it's part of a Christmas tradition, hiding the fact that she was using it as a reference for a sweater she was knitting him. When he inquires further, secretly wanting to give her a gift connected to her old city life, she continues to make up outlandish moose-based traditions while secretly trying to measure him. This all ultimately leads to Brent's gift being a moose skull on a coatrack they can dance around, and rum served in a pumpkin painted to look like a watermelon.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: When Hank mistakes Oscar "being sick" of doing chores for Emma as him actually being ill, Oscar takes advantage of Hank's kindness and gets him to do his work for him. When Emma finds out, not only does she not reveal Oscar's lie, she claims to be ill too so Hank sets up their annual Christmas party all by himself. This eventually leads to the town thinking they're too sick to host the party.
