There was a special Christmas Themed Title Card for this episode.
Dean calls Sam a Grinch for not wanting to celebrate Christmas. The Grinch was a Dr Suess character made famous in the book How the Grinch Stole Christmas, later a film called The Grinch starring Jim Carrey.
Dean refers to the Carrigans as "Ozzie and Harriet" in a reference to the perfect 1950s couple Ozzie and Harriet Nelson in the long running TV series The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet.
When Sam talks about chimney sweepers, he mentions Dick van Dyke, the chimney sweeper from the Disney movie "Mary Poppins". Dean has no idea what Sam is talking about.

In the present day, Sam gives Dean his motor oil and a candy bar, and Dean gives Sam skin mags (one is called Frolics) and shaving cream. Both boys have purchased their presents at "the gas mart down the road."
On the back of the motel door it says The Thomas Kinkade Suite and the painting is reminiscent of a Thomas Kinkade painting. This is a shout-out to Jared's role as Kinkade in The Christmas Cottage.
The ending scene (with Sam and Dean exchanging presents, then the camera panning back through the window to observe the scene from outside, while the song "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is played) closely resembles the ending scene of the X-Files episode "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas (6.08)".
