Trivia

• The opening has returned to the original version used since Season Seventeen, though after the commercial break, it is called "Tegridy Farms Christmas Special".
• When Randy and Towelie discuss repackaging the surplus marijuana, the "Mexican Joker" collection has the biggest surplus, as Randy mentions that "people really didn't like Mexican Joker". It may be a reference to the episode not being well-received among some fans and critics.
  • The surplus jars seen in the background for "Mexican Joker", "Tegridy Farms Halloween Special", and "Season Finale" may also be a reference to those three currently being the lowest-rated episodes of Season Twenty-Three on IMDb.
• In reality, there are no alcohol bans in Colorado like the one depicted in the episode. Alcohol sales are forbidden from 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day.
• One of the promo images depicts Santa standing with The Boys in front of his sleigh, implying they would have a large role in the episode. In the actual episode, The Boys only appear in a few short scenes and do not directly interact with Santa while the adults are the main focus of the episode. Additionally, Stan does not have any lines at all.
• Despite being focused on Randy and Tegridy Farms, the end credits do not feature Randy's "Tegridy Farms" scat.
• This is the final episode to air before the show entered a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Below are a list of video clips that make up the live-action segment of the Marijuana-free Christmas Snow commercial:
  • A Christmas dinner for four, seen from outside the window.
  • A woman presenting a gift to a man while covering his eyes.
  • A young couple exchanging Christmas presents.
  • Four women throwing confetti.
  • A close-up view of a woman snorting cocaine.
  • A close-up view of cutting cocaine
  • A woman presenting a gift to a man, followed with a kiss.

References to Popular Culture

• Mr. Mackey sings "Happy Holiday" by Andy Williams at the beginning of the episode.
• "Kay Thompson's Jingle Bells" by Andy Williams can be heard when the townspeople go driving after drinking and again after trying Christmas Snow.
• "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley can be heard when the parents are watching their kids ice skate.
• The traditional Christmas song "Silent Night" is played when the town is shown completely empty due to the temporary ban on alcohol sales.
• Though they can only be seen at the beginning of the episode, the episode features a number of label brand and parody alcoholic beverages, including S'Moors, Pabst, and even John Adams, an obvious parody of Samuel Adams, the multi-product sub of Boston Beer Company.
• The billboard with Santa holding a jar of Tegridy Farm Christmas Snow with the caption "Coke Time" parodies a classic promotional picture from The Coca-Cola Company of Santa Claus holding a bottle of Coca-Cola with the same caption as seen here.
• Randy can be seen at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival to promote legalization of cocaine.
• Randy leads a protest to legalize cocaine in front of Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington.
• Butters mentions the Disney+ series The Mandalorian and mentions its not as good now.
• Greta Thunberg was mentioned by the audience comparing Santa Claus' speech to her speech.
• The scene in which Santa steals the Christmas Snow from everyone's homes is a reference to How the Grinch Stole Christmas! The instrumental that plays is a parody of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the movie.
• The scene in which the townspeople try catching the Christmas Snow on their tongues is a reference to the snowflake scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas. The scene was previously parodied in the Season One episode "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo".

Continuity

• The Mandalorian was previously discussed in "Basic Cable".
• Jesus finally returned to the show after his last appearance in the episode "A Scause For Applause". Not counting his appearances in South Park: The Stick of Truth and South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
• A surplus of weed jars containing the episodes of this season (such as "Season Finale") were featured in this episode.
• One of the Underpants Gnomes can be heard talking to Santa on his radio. Not counting any of the games, their previous appearance was in "Red Sleigh Down".
• Randy returns to the US Congress to support a cause (legalizing cocaine) for a second time since "Sarcastaball".

Goofs

• Randy can be seen on stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California shortly before Christmas. Coachella typically takes place in mid-April.
• Singing crickets are audible during Santa's speech, even though it is the middle of winter and they should be dormant (a state called diapause).
• The signboard for Santa's Workshop was misspelled ("Santa's Worshop").
• The scene of Santa's Workshop was shown to be in daylight, however it was expected to be dusk or at night given the opening hours for the workshop (which were displayed as 5:00 pm til 9:00 pm; in December, sunset in Colorado is around 4.40 pm).
• The thumbnail for this episode in the South Park Studios website uses the same thumbnail as "Trapped in the Closet" as of June 2020.
