Trivia
Final appearance in the series of Matilda Ziegler as Irma Gobb, Mr. Bean's girlfriend. The character would later return in the animated series a decade later with Ziegler reprising her role.

Goofs
Mr. Bean loses his watch inside the turkey, but at one point while he has the turkey on his head (as he says "No, no thank you!") he is wearing his watch on his left wrist.

Quotes
[last lines]
Mr. Bean: [to himself] Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean.

Alternate versions
In some international broadcasts (such as on HBO in the US) and on some home media releases (the Canadian VHS and 10th Anniversary Australian DVD) this episode included a scene where Mr. Bean wins a free turkey by sneaking a bathroom scale into the butcher shop to allow him to guess the weight. This is an added scene that did not appear in the original UK broadcasts. It was likely added to the HBO broadcast to lengthen the running time.

Hilarious Christmas Special from the year 1992

I find this Christmas Special is very hilarious, because of the amazing festive sketches, First there's the Christmas shopping at Harrods' Shopping Centre as well as the Nativity Scene, Then how much does the Turkey weigh competition at the Butchers shop, Then the Festive music composing sketch, Then putting the Christmas Cards, Stockings and Listening to the Children's Christmas Carolers scene at Mr. Bean's Apartment, Then it's Christmas day, Then the Hilarious Turkey on Mr. Bean's head scene when His Love Interest Irma Gobb's visit to Mr. Bean's place for a Christmas dinner, and finally the saddest part is the Christmas present for Irma Gobb that made her heartbroken, Because of Mr. Bean's incompetence and miscommunication, It maybe end on a sour note, But it is a very good Christmas Special, I'm giving this a 10/10, and Merry Christmas.
