The Snowman
"Father Christmas" and "The Snowman" take place in the same universe—both were written by the same author, and both television shorts were made by very similar production teams. It is suggested that this film takes place a year or so after "The Snowman", as Father Christmas jokes to the boy "glad you could make it again; the party I mean, not your snowman”, which ultimately gives "The Snowman" a happy ending. The boy can also be seen wearing the scarf Father Christmas gave him in "The Snowman". There is also a poster of the snowman in one of the rooms when Father Christmas is delivering presents. The snowman himself can also be seen in Father Christmas' yard during the credits.
