Trivia

Jack Frost is seen wearing a black and white outfit with a pale and white look, referring to Jack Skellington from the The Nightmare Before Christmas, another character who believed that he could take over for Santa Claus. In the trailer, the tracks "What's This" and "Making Christmas" from that film are heard in the background. See more »
