-->'''Seymour S Sassifrass:''' ''(speaking of Peter Cottontail)'' You mean you've never heard how he almost lost the job? ''(as the music takes on a minor [[{{Scales}} key]] and tone)'' You actually mean you've never heard how a terrible, wicked, nasty rabbit named Irontail almost became the Easter Bunny?

* EvilIsSexy: Irontail, whose a cranky, scheming goth rabbit voiced by Creator/VincentPrice so this isn't that surprising.

* PopCulturalOsmosis: A lot of people remember the song "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" but not many people are aware that this song actually came from this special.

* {{Narm}}: LargeHam CardCarryingVillain January Q. Irontail. What else do you expect from Creator/VincentPrice?

* HilariousInHindsight: The whole plot of a figure from one holiday visiting other holidays and trying to take them over in the style of his own holiday brings to mind a certain [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas later cult classic that's also in stop-motion animation.]] Especially when Antoine exclaims "This is Halloween!" when he and Peter land in that holiday.

** You can't help but feel sorry for Donna, the female bunny that Peter Cottontail meets when he arrives at a place dedicated to Valentine's Day and is later seen crying as he leaves her behind. She later returns during the ending where Peter gives her a flower.

* PropRecycling: As seen in the page image, the Santa Claus model was recycled from the previous year's ''WesternAnimation/SantaClausIsCominToTown''. On a side note, he was also voiced by Paul Frees in this special, who previously voiced him in ''WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman'' and later voiced him again in ''WesternAnimation/RudolphsShinyNewYear''.
