Trivia[]
- After each program, John Ritter, Daniel Brochu, Bill Fagerbakke, Rodger Bumpass, and Kel Mitchell tell the viewer what will be seen next.
- The PBS Kids Snowglobe logo's audio plays over the PBS Kids Christmas Spectacular's logo every time it appears before a program
- The VeggieTales Kids episode How Mr. Nezzer Stole Christmas, and the Dragon Tales episodes Dragonberry drought use the Dot variant of the PBS Kids 1999 logo, Arthur's Perfect Christmas uses the Dash variant, the VeggieTales Kids episodes The Christmas Concert and Hanukkah Night use the Dash Transformation (caveman, scuba diver, and robot) variant of the PBS Kids 2000 logo, and the Clifford the Big Red Dog episodes That's Snow Lie, and A Friend in need use the Dot Transformation (tiger, octopus, and astronaut) variant of the 2000 PBS Kids logo, but it uses the Snowglobe audio for some reason. Other episodes don't have that error.
