Oddly, this special includes aspects of the Saturday morning Sonic TV show, such as Robotropolis and SWATbots (neither of which appear as they did in that series) and Sally Acorn (who appears in her regular design but with her pilot episode color palette). Said series had aired concurrently with the original run of 'Adventures', but in a different time slot, and had stopped producing new episodes by the time 'Christmas Blast' premiered. Despite this, the special maintains the humorous tone of 'Adventures' rather than the darker one of the Saturday morning series.

Trivia: The letters page of issue #41 of the Sonic the Hedgehogcomic book promotes the special as 'An X-Tremely Sonic Christmas' as this episode was originally going to be a tie in for Sonic X-treme on Sega Saturn. However, the game was cancelled, and the title was changed to tie in with Sonic 3D Blast instead.
