Watch it here.


Ready? Hoho!

  • Bad Santa: KillahKlause68 fits this trope. He's a more realistic take on Ol' Saint Nick, forcing his elves to overwork for the next year, runs over a grandma with most likely no regret, kidnapping Jake and Snake to make the video itself, and apparently forces Rudolph to defend the sleigh from anything that may interrupt his trip around the world, like US Airspace.
  • Brick Joke: The grandma that Santa runs over comes back for the final death as an angry revenant, getting her revenge by blowing up Santa's sleigh.
  • Call-Back:
    • Death 11, "Wrong Reindeer", plays out very similarly to Death 9 in Part 3, "Wrong Horse", as both victims mistake weaker animals for their stronger, more powerful animals, causing them to fall to their deaths. Here, instead of horses, KillahKlause68 mistakes regular reindeer for his magical ones.
    • In Death 12, Ned remembers back to Death 26 in Part 5, when being a good boy that year caused him to be crushed by a giant Airship that Santa gifted to him. To avoid the same thing happening this year, Ned goes on a tirade of bad deeds, including punching a puppy, blowing up people's houses with his TNT cannon, and tricking Stu into using an anvil trap that he believes is a infinite dirt generator. When Ned confidently states that there's no way Santa will crush him with a giant gift this year, he is immediately crushed by a giant piece of coal for being naughty.
  • Chest Monster: Death 40 has a Shulker disguised as a Present.
  • Didn't We Use This Joke Already?: Death 23 is once again, Ned getting killed by watching the Star Wars holiday special...but it gets reversed, since it was already done way back in Part 1. And face it, the special doesn't deserve another death to its name.
  • Flame War: Norman accidentally causes another, this time over which phrasenote  is the correct way to wish someone a good Christmas.
  • Rouge Angles of Satin: Death 15 shows what happens when you misspell "Santa" on your wish list.
    Satan: "Here's your new iPhone. That will be one soul please. (victim falls into an inferno) No refunds!"
  • Shout-Out:
  • The Krampus: Three incarnations — the original, Knecht Ruprecht and Pere Foutard — make an appearance in Death 49 to punish Snaik, but they get into an argument on who gets to whack him first, giving Snaik enough time to drop them all into a magma cube trap.
  • Take That!: Death 37; while FirstGuy is at home listening to his radio after Thanksgiving, the moment it strikes midnight, the poor guy gets killed by the extremely loud Christmas music.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Who else but Stu?
    • In death 27, he makes a dreidel out of TNT.
    • In death 33, he makes a snowman using the exact method of summoning the Wither.
    • In death 41, he eats an oak log mistaking it for a Buche De Noel.
  • Underestimating Badassery: A mugger tries mugging BlondWolfGirl, who's enjoying a candy cane, witch she uses to stab the mugger.
    • Feed Me really hasn't learned from his Villager punching days. He tries picking snowball fights with an Iron Golem, who makes one rivaling The Spirit Bomb in size, and a Snow Golem, who uses the snowball-mountain roll trick on Feed Me.
