It's Christmastime again and the girls are all set to give the Professor a mug sporting "World's #1 Dad".

Trivia

• This is the last episode to be aired in the year 2018.
• This marks the third Christmas themed episode in the entire franchise after the original series special, 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas and You're a Good Man, Mojo Jojo from season 2 of the 2016 reboot.
  • It's the fourth, if you count the Powerpuff Girls Z episode, "All Ken Wants for Christmas".
• The plot is slightly similar to the Regular Show episode World's Best Boss.
• Running gag: Blossom does not believe in Santa.
  • Unlike her 1998 counterpart who believes in Santa, as the girls' 1998 counterparts teamed up with him in the original series special, 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas.
• Blossom's bow in this episode bears a resemblance to her 1998 counterpart's bow and her Powerpunk Girls counterpart Berserk's messy hair bow.
• The scene where the girls zap across the cash register shows the text of the ingredients each of the girls were made out of. This could be a reference to the conception of their 1998 counterparts in the 2002 prequel film of the same name.
