    Storyline

    • Trivia
      At the beginning of the episode, right after Mayor McDaniels says, "We'll be lighting the South Park Christmas tree to kick off the holidays," it moves to a wide shot of the crowd where a classic South Park alien, a Visitor, is standing right behind Maphesto and Father Maxi. This is the only shot containing the alien, who cheers with the crowd when the mayor makes her announcement, however there are other one or two time characters who make an appearance in the crowd, including: Chef's parents Thomas and Nelle McElroy and Ben Affleck's parents Stephen and Martha Thompson from How to Eat with Your Butt (2001).
    • Goofs
      At about 15:04, the second time in this shot where Santa is being electrocuted, his hands disappear.

      [Santa is being interrogated by the Iraq military]

      Interrogator: What does America want with Iraq? Tell me my main man!

      Santa Claus: I don't know, I live in the north pole.

      [Interrogator pulls out two metal rods]

      Santa Claus: What are you going to do to me?

      Interrogator: They say it was the Chinese who first experimented with electro-shock to the testicles...

      Santa Claus: Oh no! Not Santa's balls!

      [Zap]

      Santa Claus: Aargh! I'm gonna fucking *kill* you!

      Interrogator: You're going to tell me what I want, my main man.

      Santa Claus: Then we're in for a long night, 'cos I don't know shit!

    Red Sleigh Down!
    Red Sleigh Down is the season 6 Christmas special of South Park.It's pretty entertaining and an action-packed episode.Cartman finds out he needs to do something very good to get the specific toy he wants.He decides that if he brings Christmas to Iraq, Santa will see that he is good.Him and the boys go with Santa and Mr Hankey to Iraq, however some Iraqis shoot Santa down and begin to torture him.It's now up to the boys and Jesus to save him! The episode spoofs elements of the movie "Three Kings". This is a fairly good Christmas episode of South Park and it also marks the return of Kenny who was absent from this season.
