    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The musical number which The Monkees sing a cappella is "Riu Chiu", a Christmas carol written in archaic Spanish. This carol's printed history has been traced to 1556, and may even be much older than that.
    • Goofs
      The Salesman is seen chasing Peter Tork through the toy department and cheering himself on from the sidelines at the same time.
    • Quotes
      • Melvin Vandersnoot: Isn't it the height of conformity for both of you to play the same instrument?
      • Mike: Well, no...
      • Peter: No, we don't, man!
      • Mike: Yeah, that's a bass!
      • Peter: Yeah, it's different!
      • Melvin Vandersnoot: Well, personally I don't see how different it could be!
      • Mike: This isn't working out, you know.
      • Peter: I'd expected more from you, Michael. Even I could have said that.
    • Crazy credits
      This usual closing theme and graphics are missing completely. Instead, The Monkees bring several of the crew out on stage and introduce them (in a setting that looks like a Christmas party) as the credits roll silently.
    • Alternate versions
      Some reshowings of this episode have the usual closing credits instead of the alternate closing.
    • Connections
      Edited from The Monkees: Everywhere a Sheik, Sheik (1967)
    • Soundtracks
