- Quotes
Donald Duck: [referring to a pinata] What's this?
Panchito: What's this?
[laughs]
Panchito: This is your gift from Mexico, Donald: a pinata!
Donald Duck: Oh, boy, oh, boy, a pinata!... What's a pinata?
Panchito: A pinata is full of surprises. Presents. It's the very spirit of Christmas.
Donald Duck: Christmas!
[singing]
Donald Duck: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...
Panchito: [laughing] Oh, no, no, Donald! For goodness sake, not "Jingle Bells". In Mexico, they sing "Las Posadas".
- Crazy creditsIn the end of the movie, the fireworks exploding of the title "Fin", "Fim" and "The End".
- Alternate versionsThere was an airing of this film for American television in the early 1980s which was extended to help it fit into a two-hour time slot. This was done by editing in selected shorts on similar themes. Among them were Pluto and the Armadillo (1943), Clown of the Jungle (1947), and Morris the Midget Moose (1950).
