Santa Claus is Comin' to Town/Trivia

• Genius Bonus: When the children's voices recite the names of Santa's newly-empowered reindeer, it sounds like the child speaking stumbles over the names "Donner" and "Blitzen". Except they're not making a mistake, they're saying "Donder" and "Blixen", the original Dutch names used in the very earliest versions of A Visit from St. Nicholas.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Paul Frees, voice of the Burgermeister and his lackey Grimsby, as well as assorted other minor characters, is probably best remembered as Boris Badanov from Rocky and Bullwinkle, and is also the "Ghost Host" from Disney's The Haunted Mansion rides.
• Recycled Script: Rankin/Bass later told this same story again as The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town.
