Allusions[]
- The Loud House - The title of the episode shares the same name as an episode of the Nicktoon where one of the characters, Lana Loud, tries to convince her siblings to meet her favorite racecar driver.
- Pokémon: Indigo League - The dub of the Pokémon anime series also had an episode of the same name. The episode features Ash and his Pokémon being trapped in a cave in the midst of a blizzard.
- Phineas and Ferb - Zack questioning who names the woods. This is similar to Baljeet questioning who named the Mountain and River in the episode "Doof Dynasty".
- Milo and Zack create a giant slingshot in order to leave the whale's mouth in time, similar to how Phineas and Ferb create a giant slingshot to leave the deserted island in time in "Summer Belongs to You!"
- McDonald's - The alien's speech is "Nubdees emases ano snoino selkcip eseehc ecuttel ecuas laiceps seittap feebla-oot", which, when said backwards, is the famous slogan describing the ingredients of a Big Mac (which, incidentally, is "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame-seed bun"). "Feebla-Oot" would later be used as the name of the planet Candace is abducted to in Candace Against the Universe.
Errors[]
- Milo states he has seen Krillhunter 7: Krilling Me Softly, while in fact it is Krillhunter II.
- When Milo and Zack go back in time, they arrive at school before Bradley gives Melissa his shovel. Yet in the final shot she does have it.
- If the episode takes place on a school day shortly after A Christmas Peril, then it would take place in January, not December, because schools do not meet during the week between Christmas and New Year's. Yet Cavendish and Dakota still have the calendar set to December.When Cavendish stares at the calendar, part of the calendar is missing and exposes the wooden wall behind it.
- In the school bus, Melissa is not animated properly.
- Melissa starts out the episode dressed in a snowsuit that has pants that cover her legs. But when she's in class, she's in her usual blouse and skirt.
