* BrickJoke: When Jimmy laments that he stopped believing in Santa because he didn't get the dwarf star he wanted some years back, Sheen asks if that was the year he almost destroyed the world and concludes that Jimmy didn't get the star because he was on the naughty list. When Santa shows up later for his BigDamnHeroes moment, he comments that Jimmy has been on the naughty list for a while.



* DidntThinkThisThrough: At the end of the episode, Santa gives Jimmy the dwarf star he asked for two years earlier and explains that the star had to be cooled before it was safe for delivery. Jimmy admits he should have realized it from the start.

* InsaneTrollLogic: Throughout the episode, Jimmy doesn't believe in Santa Clause and states it's scientifically impossible for anyone to deliver presents to every house in the world in one night. Later, when he goes to Santa's Workshop in the North Pole, Jimmy ([[SelectiveObliviousness still not believing]] [[ArbitrarySkepticism in Santa]]) opts to deliver all the presents in one night, stating that if a kid (himself) can deliver all presents using science, then everyone, including Santa's elves, would be forced to “accept the truth” that there is no Santa Clause.[[note]] In case you're confused: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext No, this line of logic doesn't make any sense internally or externally]]. Its especially odd since Jimmy, [[OnlySaneMan of all characters]] in a show full of whacky characters, is making this assumption. [[/note]]

* PlotHole: Jimmy states that it’s scientifically impossible for ''anyone'' to deliver presents to every house around the world in one night. Later in Santa’s workshop, he opts to deliver the presents around the world, stating to the Elves that if he can do so in one night using science, then it proves there is no Santa Clause. But didn’t he already say that doing so is scientifically impossible? And even if he was successful, how does that prove Santa doesn’t exist (since he just proved it ''can'' be done)?

In an attempt to prove Santa Claus does not exist, Jimmy goes to the North Pole with Carl and Sheen and ends up discovering Santa's workshop. When he accidentally scrambles Santa's atoms, Jimmy is then forced to deliver the presents for him and soon learns the true spirit of Christmas. Meanwhile, Hugh is convinced Christmas is cancelled because of Jimmy's actions, so he invents a new holiday.

!! "Holly Jolly Jimmy" provides examples of:

* BigDamnHeroes: Santa, fully recovered from his atom scramble, shows up just in time to save Jimmy and the gang and complete the present deliveries.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: When Jimmy wonders how Santa is going to deliver the presents to everyone in Retroville before morning, Santa does his own [[EurekaMoment brain blast]] like Jimmy.
* ChristmasEpisode: The episode is set around Christmastime.
* ChrismasSongs: "Basking In The Warmth", sung by the cast to convince Jimmy to at least enjoy Christmas.
* SantasExistenceClause: Jimmy's main issue for the episode. He stopped believing in Santa after he did not get the dwarf star he asked for two years ago, and came to the conclusion he's not real. He soon realizes Santa is indeed real when he shows up to save the boys in time.
* SpecialGuest: Creator/MelBrooks as Santa Claus.
* SubbingForSanta: Jimmy was forced to deliver all the presents of the world after scrambling Santa's atoms.
* TriumphantReprise: "Basking In The Warmth" returns in the end in a more cheerful manner as Jimmy and his parents celebrate him finally believing in Santa and Christmas has been saved.
