== Merry Christmas, Charlie Manson ==
* The theater's name in '''[[It's a Wonderful Life|Its a Wonderful Life]]''' is the Bijou, just like South Park's theater.
* 'The Grinchy Poo' is shot for shot '''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animation)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'''.

Line 497:
== Cartmanland ==
* Cartman's rant about lines, lines, lines is almost shot-for-shot from the animated '''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animation)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]''' when he rages about noise, noise, noise.

Line 609:

Line 642:
== A Ladder To Heaven ==
* When Cartman sees things through Kenny's eyes, the scenes are similar to scenes in '''[[Being John Malkovich]]'''.

* When the boys build the ladder to reach above the clouds Cartman is annoyed that they haven't seen Cloud City from '''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''' yet. Stan mentions the lack of the [[Jack and the Beanstalk|giant.]]
Line 750:
* The makeover scenes mirror the opening credits of '''Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.''' Randy and Cartman both have looks similar to Queer Eye's Kyan.
* Kyle's look after he gets his makeover is very similar to that of recording artist Mick Hucknall of '''Simply Red.'''
* The crab people could be based on the huge alien crabs in '''[[Doctor Who]]''''s "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S4
Line 924:
== Woodland Critter Christmas ==
* The voiceovers are written in the style of [[Dr. Seuss]], closely resembling '''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (novel)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'''.

* Mousey Mouse comes directly from '''[[Twas the Night Before Christmas]]'''.

* The scene with Stan and Kyle are in the barn is an homage to '''[[Night of the Living Dead]]''', in which people barricade themselves in a house against a wave of attacking zombies. The "breaking-in" scene has since become a staple of zombie films.
* The scene in which the ginger kids abduct non-gingers is a parody of a scene found in the mini-series '''[['Salem's Lot|Salems Lot]]'''.
* When the little ginger girl is standing outside another child's house, she is singing the opening theme of '''[[The Amityville Horror]]'''.
Line 1,373:
* One of the vampire kids claims to be like Bella from '''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]''' (likely the main culprit in the vampire craze.)
* Butters yells "The power of Christ compels you!" at the vampire kids, a famous line from '''[[The Exorcist]]'''.
* Some elements of the plot are references to Stephen King's vampire novel and the film '''[['Salem's Lot|Salems Lot]]'''. In the film, the Marsten House is burned down, while in the episode it's Hot Topic.
