==Trivia==
===General===
*The elf who looks like Patrick on top of the pine tree at the end of the short is a reference to "[[Christmas Who?]]" when Patrick jumps up on top of the coral tree during the song "[[The Very First Christmas]]."
*Besides Butch Hartman's portrait, the "eight oddball wishes" that Cosmo and Wanda produce include a toilet, an old-time bicycle, a donkey carrying a suitcase, a giant set of false teeth, a big toy submarine that looks like the one Wanda transforms into during [[w:c:fairlyoddparents:I Wish Every Day Could Be Christmas|the song]] in "[[w:c:fairlyoddparents:Christmas Everyday!|Christmas Everyday!]]," a bowl of cereal, and a plastic whale that resembles [[w:c:christmas-specials:Big Ben|Big Ben]].
*The "six jamming jellies" line during the music that plays when Winter Squidlock sings is a background music piece titled "[[List of production music/s#Stadium Rave|Stadium Rave]]," originally used in the episode "[[Jellyfish Jam]]."

===Cultural references===
*The title shares the name of the {{W|The 12 Days of Christmas (song)|Christmas carol}}.
*When Vicky stops singing her part of the song, her legs twirl up. This is a reference to when the Wicked Witch of the East dies in ''{{W|The Wizard of Oz}}''.
*The elf that looks like Jimmy being chased by the elf that looks like Carl's clones is a reference to the ''{{W|The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius|Jimmy Neutron}}'' interstitial short "Carl Squared."
*Nearly everything in this short is a reference to the old Christmas films made by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankin/Bass_Animated_Entertainment Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment]. For example, Winter Squidlock is based on the Winter Warlock.
