The Year Without a Santa Claus/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Officer: I pulled you over for riding a — riding a — what's that thing?
Jingle: This is Vixen.
Officer: Riding a Vixen the wrong way down a one-way street.

  • Ear Worm: Both of the Misers' Image Songs:
    • "I'm Mr. White Christmas! I'm Mr. Snow!/ I'm Mr. Icicle! I'm Mr. 10 below! / Friends call me Snow Miser — whatever I touch / Turns to snow in my clutch! / I'm too much!"
    • "I'm Mr. Green Christmas! I'm Mr. Sun! / I'm Mr. Heat Blister! I'm Mr. 101! / They call me Heat Miser — whatever I touch / Starts to melt in my clutch! / I'm too much!"
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: The Miser brothers, which led to them getting their own special several decades later.
  • Evil Is Cool: See "Ensemble Darkhorse" above
  • Just Here for Godzilla: After seeing it the first time, the real reason you'll see it again is because of the Miser brothers.
  • Unfortunate Implications: Somewhat stronger than mere implications: despite just finishing an entire musical number about the idea, Mrs. Claus abandons her initial plan to substitute for Santa simply because Jingle and Jangle recognized her -- when she wasn't wearing anything that counted as a disguise. She then hands over almost all plot advancement to considerably less-competent male characters -- at least until it comes time to talk to Mother Nature.
