Trivia
- This is the last episode to be aired in 2018.
- This marks the third Christmas themed episode in the franchise after the original series special, 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas and You're a Good Man, Mojo Jojo from season 2 of the 2016 reboot.
- Fourth, if you count the Powerpuff Girls Z episode, "All Ken Wants for Christmas".
- The plot is similar to the Regular Show episode World's Best Boss.
- Running gag: Blossom does not believe in Santa.
- Unlike her 1998 counterpart who believes in Santa, as the girls' 1998 counterparts teamed up with him in the original series special, 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas.
- Blossom's bow in this episode bears a resemblance to her 1998 counterpart's bow and her Powerpunk Girls counterpart Berserk's messy hair bow.
- The scene where the girls zap across the cash register shows the text of the ingredients each of the girls were made out of. This could be a reference to the conception of their 1998 counterparts in the 2002 prequel film of the same name.
