Trivia

• This episode of the Flintstones conflicts in two ways with the Christmas special "A Flintstone Christmas". In the first instance, by the end of this episode, Fred believes in Santa Claus and even states "No one's going to tell me that there isn't a Santa Claus". In "A Flintstone Christmas", Fred finds it hard to believe that Santa is on his roof and even thinks that Barney is immature for believing in Santa Claus. In the second instance, Santa looks very different in this episode than he did in "A Flintstone Christmas".However "A Flintstone Christmas" could be a remake of this episode.
