Trivia

 * Strangely, the update was released on November rather then December. This may be because they wanted the Halloween update and the holiday update to have a similar time out for the public.


 * The Holiday Town shows Santa's Sleigh covered in snow, one possibility is that the Snow Village's Anti-Air Gun must have mistaken the sleigh as an enemy aircraft and shot it down by accident.
 * All of the features of the update were brought back during the Holiday Update 2014.
