## Trivia

* This video marked:
	+ The first appearance of Anthony's daughter Lucia.
	+ The last Christmas video to be released on VHS.
	+ The last Christmas video featuring Greg as the yellow Wiggle. Although, he guests stars in Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas! 2017 video wearing his same yellow skivvy from 2001-2006, singing Go Santa Go with the Current Wiggles.
	+ The last Wiggles screener VHS to be released in America.
	+ The only video where it doesn't have a title card.
	+ The final video to be filmed on tape. Starting with Sailing Around the World, videos would be shot digitally.
* Jeff's baby nephew, Oscar Ng and Anthony's wife Miki Field and daughter Lucia Field are seen in the end credits.
* This video was released in the USA before it was released in Australia.
* Henry the Octopus does not speak in this video.
* Paul Paddick does Santa Claus' voice dub.
* On the USA/Canada DVD and VHS release, there is a commercial for the "Wiggling Dancing Guitar" toy.
* This video never appeared in a TV series.
* To Our Lady Guadalupe is sung by the Moguel family before Noche De Paz (Silent Night).
* Like Wiggle Bay and Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins!, the video was shot in 16:9 widescreen, with all home video releases using a cropped 4:3 full screen master. However, unlike those videos, where the widescreen editions were reserved exclusively for TV usage, the widescreen version of this video was available to purchase digitally on iTunes for a while, before being removed from the platform sometime in 2016, alongside other Classic-era videos.
	+ Additionally, whenever clips from this video are used in other Wiggles media (with the exception of 15 Years of Wiggly Fun!), the widescreen master is featured.
* In the prologue of "Dorothy's Christmas Roses", Dorothy's voice is played by Carolyn Ferrie, but in the song her voice is swapped to being played by Jacqueline Field.
* In the scene where Murray visits Jackie and Christopher Cannizzaro in New York, you can see that Murray is wearing a different belt buckle and different trousers.
* The set is used in Nick Jr. UK promo from 2004, the set was also used for The Wiggles congratulating Steve Irwin (aka The Crocodile Hunter) on This Is Your Life.
* The screener VHS has no previews at the end whatsoever.
* During production of this video, The Wiggles asked Barry Williams to be a part of it and he said yes. So Greg and Paul Field, the Wiggles' manager, picked Barry up from his hotel.
* In North America, this is the last Wiggles Christmas video to be released by HIT Entertainment.
* The UK DVD files are titled WIGGLES\_SANTAS\_ROCKIN\_UK.
* The UK DVD was burned on August 9th 2006.
* Jeff doesn't fall asleep in this video.
* Santa is listed as a special guest vocalist in the musicians credits.
* Ryan De Saulnier wears glasses in this video, apart from the epilogue scene.
* The DVD's Photo Gallery shows a deleted scene from Away in a Manger where Rachel Tibbertsma as one of the angels sees baby Jesus just before Genevieve McFadden as another angel comes in.
* This video is yet to be uploaded on YouTube as part of Classic Wiggles.

## Goofs

* During Henry The Champion Christmas Wrapper, a transition shot shows Katherine Patrick in the Henry costume without Henry's head on.

	+ Henry The Champion Christmas Wrapper credits Dominic Lindsay, while Paul Paddick is credited on Wags Stop Your Barking, It's Almost Christmas Day!
* Adrian Quinnell is listed in the credits, despite not being seen.
* Some of the times when people's voices are heard, their mouths don't move.
