** After Foghorn and Daffy successfully build the giant fan in the North Pole, Foghorn asks Daffy where they're going to plug it in. Daffy asks Foghorn why he didn't think of it before they left. Foghorn soon gets the idea to find Santa's workshop so he can plug it in there. When they return to Bugs' neighborhood after finding out that they failed in their mission, Foghorn decides that next year, he'll make his fan battery-operated. Fortunately for Foghorn and Daffy, Santa plugged in their giant fan.
** Lola installs a trap door in the theater to make everyone's entrances and exits more dramatic, but it only results in it trapping everyone, since she focused more on the trap part than the door part.
* DisguisedInDrag: One of the roles Bugs ends up having to play is Carol, the daughter of Santa Claus, a role Lola would have played had she not gotten herself trapped in the trap door.
* FurryConfusion: Lola casts Porky, an anthropomorphic pig, as Hambone, a non-anthropomorphic pig who only oinks.
* InNameOnly: When Lola directs her own version of ''A Christmas Carol'', this trope inevitably happens.
* JerkassHasAPoint: When Mac and Tosh argue over which role they should play in Lola's play (Weevil and Beevil, the elf twins), Sam points out that it doesn't matter which role they pick since nobody can tell them apart anyway. He then casts Mac as Weevil and Tosh as Beevil, but the two gophers switch roles later on.

* LeavingFoodForSanta: In the "Christmas Rules" music video, Porky leaves cookies and milk out for Santa, but Daffy starts eating the cookies, much to Porky's disapproval. In a later scene, Porky decides to join Daffy in eating the cookies.
* LetThereBeSnow: It becomes 104 degrees in Bugs and Daffy's neighborhood, so this episode's B-plot has Foghorn build a giant fan in the North Pole so it can spread snow to the rest of the world, and have Daffy assist him. When they get to the North Pole, they are unable to find a place to plug the fan in, but fortunately for them, Santa Claus was able to help them out.
