  • Acting for Two: Paul Frees voices the Burgermeister Meisterburger, his lackey Grimsley, the town doctor, and all five Kringle brothers.
  • Edited for Syndication: ABC removed "If You Sit On My Lap Today" and "My World is Beginning Today", along with a short introduction to the title song, going right up to the start of the opening credits; the second verse of "No More Toymakers to the King"; and the second half of "What Better Way to Tell You", plus a small scene that shows the Kringles moving onto the Winter Warlock's territory, much to his pleasant surprise; a scene that takes place right before "My World is Beginning Today" where Jessica tries unsuccessfully to plead to the Burgermeister for clemency on behalf of Kris and his friends; and a scene where the Burgermeister starts his manhunt for Kris. These scenes were removed mainly for time; on the other hand, scenes were removed on ABC Family mainly for content (though one scene removed for content in the ABC version, "If You Sit On My Lap Today", has remained on the ABC Family version since 2010), though some lines were also cut for time. Since 2020, the FreeForm airing of the special restored the songs "If You Sit On My Lap Today" and "My World Is Beginning Today" and kept the dialogue that was mostly cut.
    • In some early airings, Topper was known as "Waddles".
