9	!!Tropes that are in ''Holidaze'':
10	* BenevolentMonsters: Both Jangle and Jingle are these.
11	** While Jangle is out frightening trick-or-treaters, it is implied that he has no real zeal for scaring, quickly losing steam as he does so on his own and takes no joy when his friends frighten off Jingle. It isn't until he meets Jingle does he come out of his shell and start socializing like a normal person.
12	** Jingle is a reindeer-like monster who represents the Spirit of Christmas. Because of this, he has ''zero'' desire to scare and all he cares about is spreading joy and cheer.
13	* ChristmasCarolers: Jingle and Jangle briefly sing Christmas Carols during their bonding time.
14	* ChristmasCreep: Downplayed. Jingle is introduced magically turning the neighborhood into a Christmas Wonderland on Halloween night, implying that he represents the sudden shift between holidays.
15	* EarlyBirdCameo: An early version of Jingle first appears in an AnimatedMusicVideo of "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0iOoLk8UrY&ab_channel=Vivziepop created back in 2014]].
16	* TheKrampus: The Krampus briefly makes an appearance as Jingle and Jangle are reading about him.
17	* MagicWand: Jingle has a wand made to a look like a candy cane with a star at the end, a tool he uses to magically conjure a Christmas atmosphere wherever he goes.
18	* MirrorCharacter: The special establishes through Jingle and Jangle's friendship that Halloween and Christmas are not so different from each other. They both like candy (Jingle offers a candy cane, Jangle summons a mountain of Halloween candy with a magic trick), they both have holiday-themed drinks (Jangle enjoying a peppermint latte, Jingle having pumpkin-spice), they both have their own scary stories (Jangle taking Jingle to a monster movie, both of them later meeting TheKrampus) and they both think very little of Thanksgiving (both of them mocking a turkey with a pilgrim hat, presumably Thanksgiving's arbiter).
19	* MonsterClown: One of Jangle's Halloween friends are one of these.
20	* MonsterMash: Jangle's crew are made of monsters, himself a PumpkinPerson, along with a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]], a MonsterClown, some kind of undead AnimalisticAbomination and a smaller, eyeless candy-corn MonsterClown.
21	* NoDialogueEpisode: There is no dialogue or sound effects in the short, the entire video done with carefully-timed music and visual storytelling.
22	* OurVampiresAreDifferent: One of Jangle's monster friends are one of these.
23	* StingyJack: Jangle was meant to evoke this, being a PumpkinPerson with halloween-based magic powers and represents UsefulNotes/AllHallowsEve in the narrative.
