Allusions:

  • The title is a play on NORAD's annual Santa tracking (NORAD Tracks Santa). Visit The NORAD Tracks Santa Wiki for more information.
  • Santa uses a bazooka that he intended to deliver to Charlton Heston, another shot at the NRA. (Also see NRA Kids Club.)

Trivia / Info:

  • The interceptors that shoot down Santa are F-14 Tomcats.
  • The sound of the little girl crying comes from the videogame Silent Hill 3.
  • The stockings in the background at the press conference are all from A Very Dragon Ball Z Christmas.

Goofs / Nitpicks:

  • The remaining F-14 fires an AIM-7 Sparrow missile at Santa from close range; the Sparrow was actually a medium-range missile.
  • By the time this episode aired, the F-14 had already been retired. Also, it was historically a Navy fighter, not an Air Force one.
