The plot of this episode resembles the second Dora the Explorer Christmas special Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure.
Both protagonists (Dora and Blaze) help the antagonists (Swiper and Crusher) get presents by doing good deeds.
This is the second time Crusher joins Blaze for the whole adventure after "Defeat the Cheat".
Like previously, they also get chased by bears.
This is the first episode to involve a fact family that appeared coincidentally. Specifically, during the Counting Christmas song, the numbers 5, 12, and 7 can be seen in it. Meaning, 5 and 7 add to make 12.
This is the first time he uses it in the new animation style.
And this is also the first time Crusher uses Blazing Speed with Blaze alone, not with Stripes and Pickle as the two times before.
Crusher's Blazing Speed trail also gets a new redesign to make it now light blue instead of dark blue. Similar to Darington's.
This episode came out early on the Nickelodeon: Holiday Bonanza DVD 27 days before premiering on Nickelodeon USA.
Going by production order, this was the last episode where Artyon Celestine voices AJ's vocals in a song. Judah Edwards performs his singing roles from Renewable Energy Racers onwards.
