Trivia

• The opening has returned to the original version used since Season Seventeen, though after the commercial break, it is called "Tegridy Farm 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 "Christmas Snow." Alcohol sales are forbidden from 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day, that's all.
• 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.

References to Popular Culture

• 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 leads a protest to legalize cocaine in front of Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington.

• 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".
