The gag with The Three Stooges dressed up in Santa Claus outfits in order to get into the palace would be used again, eleven years later (with Shemp Howard replacing Curly Howard), in their short Malice in the Palace (1949), which uses the same footage of the Stooges riding up to the gate.
The name of the Middle East country, "Simmits," is a pun on "tsimmis," a Yiddish slang term for "a big fuss."
