    • Trivia
      Doc Boy was voiced by David L. Lander, who also played Squiggy in the sitcom Laverne & Shirley (1976).
    • Goofs
      In the opening dream sequence, Jon invites Garfield to eat his way to the tree via a run of lasagnas. However, whilst he eats one of them there is a brief moment when it seems as if someone used the wrong animation cels as he stops eating the one he is eating at the time for a split-second.
    • Quotes

      Garfield: All right, you guys, just permit me one sentimental moment here, will you? I have something to say. Christmas: it's not the giving, it's not the getting, it's the loving. There, I said it. Now get outta here.

    • Alternate versions
      In 1991, the TV special aired on CBS with new scenes, including Grandma playing the piano. This is why the copyright date on television airings, videos, and the "Garfield: Holiday Celebrations" DVD read as "1991".

    I can't believe nobody commented on this.
    This is definitely a yearly ritual. It has got to be one of my favorite Christmas specials of all time. I think the best part is that Garfield shows his soft side here. This is shown when Garfield sits in Grandma's lap and she tells him about how she misses her husband. Also, when Garfield gives Odie a hug at the end. There's nothing like a good old fashioned Christmas on the farm.
