* JustDesserts: The bad girls find coal in their Christmas stockings at the end of the movie.

* {{Expy}}: As pointed out by WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob, [[http://www.lifetimetv.co.uk/sites/default/files/styles/max412/public/assets/square/38686258_GWC_Cast_JV_031_1.jpg?itok=Rzt2oSCu George the security guard]] bares an uncanny resemblance to [[http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1553832.1387551357!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_970/gacy-exhumations.jpg John Wayne Gacey]].

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: There's a few instances of this, for a family film, but this moment takes the cake.
-->'''Crystal's mother:''' Those men didn't do anything to you, did they?\\
'''Crystal:''' No!\\
'''Grumpy Cat:''' [[SelfDeprecation That's a]] [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek different kind of Lifetime movie]].

* AdultsAreUseless: Every single adult in this movie either is totally incompetent or distracted with something else to care about Crystal, which leads to her having to [[spoiler:stop a million-dollar robbery]] all by herself - and ''her mother'' doesn't realize she's gone until towards the very end.

* NoFourthWall: Grumpy narrates throughout the whole movie, [[MediumAwareness aware of what she's in]], and even asks for AudienceParticipation.
** Hell, Grumpy's voice actress, Creator/AubreyPlaza, breaks it to say she has top billing in the movie. (She doesn't)

* ShoutOut: To the ''Film/HomeAlone'' movies, as Crystal sets a trap for the villains at one point, on top of the whole "kid alone in a building foils two dim-witted burglars around Christmas" premise

* TakeThat: It pokes gentle fun at the frequent type of plot (and budget) of other Lifetime movies. It also pokes fun at ''itself'', with Grumpy asking, after each commercial break, why you're still watching.

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Grumpy tries to convince the adolescent Crystal that driving a car is no big deal: "Don't worry, it's like riding a bike, but everything's different, so you have to be careful or you could die."

-->'''Crystal's mother:''' "Those men didn't do anything to you did they?"
-->'''Crystal:''' "No!"
-->'''Grumpy Cat:''' "[[SelfDeprecation That's a]] [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek different kind of Lifetime movie]]."
* GirlPosse: A trio of three girls who Crystal tries to talk to only for them to insult her. At one point, [[OffscreenTeleportation they show up out of thin air in the pet shop]] just to mock Crystal for talking to Grumpy. They get their comeuppance during the credits when all three get coal in their stockings.

* BlackComedyRape: After the crooks are arrested, Crystal is asked if they did anything to her. Grumpy breaks the fourth wall and says that [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek that's a different kind of Lifetime movie]]. Hooray for rape jokes!
