• During the first 20-30 minutes, the characters consume a cocktail from a punch bowl. The drink is a Tom and Jerry, traditionally served at Christmastime in the United States. It has been attributed to British writer Pierce Egan in the 1820s and is a variant of eggnog with brandy and rum added and served hot, usually in a mug or a bowl.

• This was the most famous of the handful of films produced by Lee Garmes. He was better known as one of the industry's leading Directors of Photography.

• Re-released by 20th Century-Fox Home Entertainment in 2004 under the title "Beyond Christmas". DVD has both the restored B&W version plus a colorized version of the movie.
