* {{Woolseyism}}: In the French dub, the names "Robotnik Claus" and "Sonic Claus" are replaced by the punnier "Robotnikolas" and "Sonicolas", combining the characters' names with "Saint Nicholas".

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: A lot of fans of ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' feel this way about Princess Sally's treatment in this special. Due in part to Creator/KathSoucie's contractual obligation of voicing WesternAnimation/LolaBunny in ''Film/SpaceJam'', she was unable to reprise her role as Sally, and as a result, Sally gets absolutely no speaking lines and plays very little role in the plot.

Even worse, as of this writing, this remains her last appearance in animation, with her only surviving in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' until ''that'' book got cancelled in 2017.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: The [[https://i.imgur.com/jIUEvia.jpg flavor text from the VHS release]] had a ''baffling'' example, referring to Robotnik as "Robotropolis" (the name of his capital city in this special) by mistake. It was noticed by the time the special was released on DVD, where [[https://i.imgur.com/YyhCXKe.jpg similar flavor text]] was used with edits, including correcting the name to "Robotnik Claus".

Um, classic Japanese Eggman is the one with round blue glasses, and he preceded this special by far. Modern Eggman has black glasses, and any similarities he has with Robot Santa are shared with classic Eggman.

* HilariousInHindsight: The plot begins when Dr. Robotnik kidnaps and replaces Santa Claus. Ironically, Santa's design in this short looks a bit like the "modern" redesign for Dr. Robotnik/Eggman that appears in later Sonic games. Most notably, Santa has round glasses with blue lenses like modern Eggman.
