* ChristmasEpisode: You know what? This is a Christmas ''game''. [[spoiler:Near the end, you meet a group of people that hate that holiday to the point of sickness that live underground next to the Silver Lake, trying to wait out Christmas so that their favorite holiday, Easter, can come along. However, see GroundhogDayLoop below to see why that won't work.]]
* DiscOneNuke: The fruitcake that you can buy in the bakery. It's inedible, but when thrown in battle, it does as much damage as one hit from Double Strike at later levels. [[spoiler:For that matter, it's best to save it for fights like the Lowly Grunt and especially the Omega Hare.]]

* GroundhogDayLoop: The town of Bethel is stuck in one involving Christmas Eve. [[spoiler:Because of this, the people living under Silver Lake trying to wait for Easter to happen are unfortunately stuck, because it will never be Easter for them unless the decorations are returned and Christmas is celebrated, thus everything that a certain NPC and Spencer say are rendered point moot.]]

All of a sudden, in the next room, you see bunnies. The people living in the cave celebrate Easter.]]

In this holiday-themed game, the town of Bethel is locked in a [[GroundhogDayLoop time-loop]] where it is always Christmas Eve.
A young girl named Tina is the first to figure this out, so she and another young boy named Kyle step outside of their homes to figure out
what is causing all the mess. They find out that a christmas tree is causing the time loop because it is missing all of its decorations.
Kyle and Tina set out to recover the missing decorations.
