Trivia[]
- Despite being filmed and uploaded before Emma Watkins officially left the Wiggles, this marks the first appearance of her successor, Tsehay Hawkins, in the yellow skivvy.
- This episode was:
- The first appearance of Paloma the Mermaid.
- The first holiday themed episode of a Wiggles series.
- The first episode of a Wiggles series since "Do The Twist!" to be filmed on location.
- The only episode of Fruit Salad TV where "Say Goodbye, Pizza Pie!" was not sung at the end, and the only episode to feature seven Wiggles rather than eight due to Tsehay replacing Emma.
- Because Paul Paddick was unable to attend filming due to border closures in his hometown of Queensland and having to take care of an ill family member, Victor Valdes filled in for Paddick as Captain Feathersword. Dominic Field, who physically portrayed Santa Claus, also provided his speaking voice in Paddick's absence, while Anthony Field performed Santa's singing vocals.
- This marks the first time in twenty-four years (since the original Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas) that Anthony voiced Santa Claus, and the first Christmas project since Go Santa Go! that someone besides Paddick provided Santa's speaking and singing voice.
- The coloured stockings from Yule Be Wiggling made a return appearance in the special.
- The song "When Joseph Was an Old Man" is the only song from the episode's companion album to not appear in the special.
