Trivia

• This was the last episode to premiere in 2008.
  • This is the only holiday episode to premiere in the same year, 2008.
• A second Holiday Special of the series was ordered by Nickelodeon because the Latin American version of the channel, didn't have a Christmas special of the show to broadcast, since the first seasons of The Fairly OddParents had been sold to Disney in that region.
• The end of the episode takes place a year after the beginning. This is the longest time-length of an episode than any other episode of the series.
• Unlike in Christmas Everyday! where Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus had original concepts and design for that episode, this episode brought them back to the classical portrayals of them that is known around the world.
• One of the presents a random kid in the background wished for was The Seemingly Harmless Plant from "Class Clown".
• In production order, this is the second and last appearance of Tootie in Season 6.
• In episode order, this is the first appearance of Tootie in Season 6.
• First appearance of Poof in a Fairly OddParents Christmas episode. It's also notable that Poof very rarely appears alongside his parents in this episode and is strangely absent for most of it.
• Trixie Tang appears briefly during the song "Not on the List"; she is the only character to appear in this special without unique winter clothing.
• This is Vicky and Tootie's first on-screen appearance together since "Mooooving Day."
• Mrs. Claus looks nothing like she does in Christmas Every Day. Instead of having an hourglass figure, she’s really fat like how most sources describe her. It could be possible that Jorgen gave both her and her husband a permanent source of magic which in turn gave them the form that they are usually shown in other well-known Christmas sources. If so then this would remove the necessary thing for fairies to transfer some of their magic to Santa so that he can do his Christmas run. Unless it doesn't have enough magic for regular Christmas magic standards that is.
• Mr. Turner wears the same Winter outfit from Christmas Every Day!.
• Santa Claus apparently knows when certain events are about to happen before they happen.
• This episode re-aired on Nicktoons during 25 Days of Nickmas 2020.
• Cosmo and Wanda's designs as mailmen were revealed in 77 Secrets of The Fairly OddParents Revealed!, over a year prior to this episode's premiere.
• Moral: Be grateful for what you get for Christmas and sometimes the things you get that aren't on the list can actually be a good present.

Allusions

• Merry Wishmas - The title is a reference to the phrase "Merry Christmas".
• The Night Before Christmas - The book Poof and Cosmo keep reading throughout the episode "The Day After Christmas" is a spoof on the poem.
• SpongeBob SquarePants - During the song "Not on the List", a girl wishing for her two front teeth is similar to the episode "Christmas Who?" where a little fish girl wanted the same thing.
  • A.J.'s super computer is also similar to the character Karen.
• All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth - The girl in the song wishing for her two front teeth is a reference to the 1944 song.
• How the Grinch Stole Christmas - The TV movie Timmy, Santa and the elves were watching "How the Grump Stole Christmas" and the main character, Grump, are clearly references on the 1957 Dr. Seuss book.
• Star Wars - When Chester says "May the cheese be with you!" This is a take on the famous line "May the force be with you".
• Mister Ed - The talking horse is a reference to Mr. Ed, the famous talking horse.
• Family Guy - The talking horse is also a reference to Peter's horse from the episode, Boys Do Cry.
  • Also, the talking horse was voiced by Gilbert Gottfried who previously voiced Dr. Bender.
  • The song "Not on the list" is similar to "I've got a little list" which was sung by Stewie Griffin in a deleted scene in the episode "Stewie Kills Lois"
• DC Comics - Nog-Man and Nog-Dog are a clear parody of Superman and Krypto.
• Silk - The Nog Mr. Turner was holding during the song Not on the List looks similar to the "Silk Eggnog".
• Back to the Future - When Mr. Turner says "Great Scott", this is Doc's catchphrase.
• Cadillac - The SUV Santa gave to Mr. Turner somewhat resembles a Cadillac Escalade.
• A Christmas Story - Elmer wears a pink bunny suit just like what Ralphie wore on Christmas Day and just like Ralphie, Elmer wears glasses and is a nerd.

Running Gags

• A.J. saying "Still creepy" every time his supercomputer talked.
• People wishing for stuff named Timmy.
• Someone summoning people by blowing a conch shell.
• Mrs. Claus serving milk and cookies for each meal.

Goofs

Tootie's glasses revert to their old shape.

Santa's white ear.

• Vicky's House is located right next to the Turner's House in this episode, normally in the position that Dinkleberg's House would be.
• When Vicky pulls out her Wishmas card, the scenery is messed up to the point she could be seen abnormally larger than the Turner's house.
• Tootie can be seen with her usual (Pre-Poof) "diva shape" glasses when she got on her seahorse named "Timmy", and again when the kids are gathering the coupons that explode out of Vicky's mailbox.
• How was Timmy able to wish up a butterfly net and a remote control trap door to Cosmo and Wanda when a while ago we saw Jorgen switched off the Big Wand (fairy magic supplier)? It is possible that Jorgen turned it on again immediately off-screen.
• How did Cosmo poofed to Santa's sled without any hindrances near the end of the episode when a while ago we saw Timmy trapped him and Wanda under a butterfly net? Cosmo probably lifted up the butterfly net by himself and used his magic as usual off-screen.
• During the last verse of the song, Not on the List, Chester had different colored hair and skin tone.
• When Santa was telling Timmy that he can figure out how to fix this, his white ear was the same color as his beard briefly.

Quotes

Timmy: I didn't get what I wanted for Christmas!

Mr. Turner: Well, join the club, mister! I asked for 2,000 gallons of nog, but instead all I got was this set of golf clubs, an SUV, the Hope Diamond, a talking horse...

Talking Horse: H-h-h-hey, Timmy.

Mr. Turner: And this stupid sled! Or as I like to call it, firewood! [throws the sled into the fireplace]

Timmy: No!!

Mrs. Turner: [holds up the shovel and the rock salt] Timmy, I think your presents are wonderful and that Santa was very thoughtful...

[scene changes to Timmy standing outside his house with the shovel and rock salt]

Mrs. Turner: ...to your dad and me!

---

Timmy: I wanna give every kid in Dimmsdale one day after Christmas wish.

Wanda: What are we suppose to do, poof up a magical wish coupon good for one wish?

Cosmo: Yeah, and deliver them to every kid in town like some kind of magic mailmen?

[Timmy just smirks and the scene changes to Cosmo and Wanda dressed as mailmen]

Wanda: [to Cosmo] You had to say magic mailman?

---

A.J.: I wish I had a ten thousand terrabyte super computer!

Computer: [in a monotone voice] Merry Wishmas, A.J.

A.J.: That's kinda creepy.

---

Mr. Turner: Or I could wish I was Nog-Man, the caped crusader of Nog! Yup, going with Nog-Man. Nog nog and away!

---

[The Elfs are destroying the Turner's House]

Mrs. Claus: Lunch is served [Puts on the table a plate full of cookies]

Mrs. Turner: So, Timmy. You won a radio contest where Santa comes to live with you?

Timmy: OK...

Elf: [Holding a newspaper] Hey, where's the can? I need to drop some presents down the chimney, if you know what I mean...

---

Timmy: What?! I didn't want to get rid of Christmas! I was just trying to do something nice for a change!

Jorgen: You did! You've finally got rid of that out-of-shape red and white windbag, who uses our magic every year and doesn't give us credit! Finally, fairies can rule the holiday season and get the props we deserve! Now, if you'll excuse me, I must prepare. Next Wishmas will be here before you know it!

Timmy: Wait! I don't want the world to forget about Santa!

Wanda: Don't worry Timmy, nobody could ever forget about Santa!

Cosmo: Santa who? Santa Monica? Santa Barbara? Santa Clarita?

Wanda: Wishmas is a passing fad and Santa would never leave the North Pole and give up on Christmas.

---

Timmy: Where'd you get that book anyway?

Cosmo: Under your tree. It's a real page-turner, I can't wait to find out who the killer is!

[then later...]

Cosmo: [reading] So on that very first Wishmas, Santa, elves and spouse said Timmy killed Christmas, and moved into his house! [sees Timmy] Ahh, you're the killer!

Timmy: I just wanted a sled!!!

---

Santa: I need more milk.

Nog-Man: [bursts through the wall with Nog-Dog] Why drink milk when you can enjoy thick, artery-clogging nog!

---

Nog-Man: Oooh, my inbox is clogged on the Nog Blog, Nog-Dog! [the screen switches to a dehydrated Santa Claus] Great Scott, a parched man who needs the rejuvenating of Nog! Quick! To the Nog-Mobile!

---

Timmy: What's the book say?

Cosmo: When Timmy realized Santa wasn't going away, they all sucked it up until Thanksgiving Day.

[later, on Thanksgiving Day]

Mrs. Claus: Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Timmy: This book is incredibly accurate.

Mrs. Claus: Now, who wants milk?

Nog-Man: Milk?! Loser! Who wants nog?! [grabs two cartons of nog off his utility belt and sprays them on Mrs. Claus]

Mrs. Claus: Oh it is ON! [tackles Nog-Man; roars]

---

Mrs. Turner: An entire year of cookies and nog for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Ahhh!!! I'm sick of cookies! [slams the table] I'm sick of radio contests! [takes a radio and throws it, then jumps out the door and laughs crazily while grabbing a reindeer and riding off]

Timmy: Well, there goes my mom with Santa's only ride to the North Pole.

---

Narrator: [on TV] And what happened then? Well, in Whatville, they say. The Grump's little heart grew big Wishmas day.

Timmy: I wanna celebrate Christmas, not Wishmas!

Santa: Well, Timmy. Seems like this year you're the only one.

Timmy: Oh yeah, what about this?! [whips out a letter]

[Santa puts on some glasses as a girlish voice reads the letter: "Dear Santa, I believe in you. I can't imagine Christmas without you. You're the greatest most jolliest Christmas hero ever" Then Santa lowers the letter to reveal that it was Timmy who was reading it]

---

Wanda: Any last wish before Jorgen gets here?

Timmy: Yes. I wish I had a big butterfly net and a remote controlled trapdoor.

[Wanda poofs them up. Then Timmy uses the butterfly net to trap Cosmo and Wanda]

Cosmo: Wow, didn't see that coming.

---

Santa: Let's turn this Wishmas tears into Christmas cheers!

Elf: But Santa, it's impossible. The reindeer took off, we sold the sled to buy cookie mix and we ain't got no Fairy World magic

Santa: Nothing's impossible if you believe!

Nog-Man: I believe, Santa! You can use my Nogmobile to deliver toys.

Santa: Can it fly?

Nog-Man: Er...Not in the sky, no.

Mrs. Turner: I believe too! I have returned so that the reindeer may pull Santa's Nog-Mobile and so he can take Mrs. Claus and her cookies far away!

---

Timmy: This year we need to figure out what we can give!

A.J.: Right! Because Christmas isn't a coupon that comes in a mailbox.

Computer: [monotone] It's a feeling that comes in your heart.

A.J.: Still creepy.

---

Cosmo: And what happened then? Well, in Dimmsdale they say. That the kids gave the entire toy mountain away!

---

Mrs. Turner: Hmmm, you know, Nog-Man. You look a lot like my husband. Is it possible you're-

Nog-Man: Nog fog! [He sprays Nog fog on Mrs. Turner and she faints] She must never know.

---

Cosmo: [reading from the book] So next time you're blue on the day after Christmas.

Santa: Give something away and have your own Merry Wishmas!

Timmy: Wait a minute, you wrote the book and put it under my tree didn't you? But how could you possibly know all this was gonna happen and that I'd learn a lesson?

Santa: Dude, I'm Santa. Ho ho ho!
