Trivia
Peter Fonda, playing Marley, was edited out of the film shortly before it aired, yet he is still visible in a portrait on a wall in Grudge's study. He also can be glimpsed in a reflection in the glass of a door and silently sitting at the dining room table.

Errores
The Andrews Sisters are billed in the closing credits as "The Andrew Sisters".

Citas
Imperial Me: Now then, they don't come out in so many words and say that they want to take us over. They're too clever for that. But, that's what they want. They want to take over us. Individual Me. And if we let them seep in here from down yonder and cross river - if we let these do-gooders, these bleeding hearts, propagate their insidious doctrine of involvement among us - then my dear friends, my beloved Me's - we's in trouble. Deep, deep trouble. Because - because we have now reached a pure state of civilization. The world of the ultimate Me is finally within our grasp. Its a world were only the strong will exist. Where only the path will love. Where finally the word "we" will be stamped out and will become "I" - forever! Because we are each the wise. We're each the strong. And we are each the individual Me's!

Versiones alternativas
A version shown on Turner Classic Movies eliminates any mention of composer Henry Mancini and replaces the opening 'Carol for Another Christmas' theme with a reprise of the choral music played over the closing credits. [The TCM version aired 4/16/24 included Mancini's music credit immediately after the actors' opening credits.]

This Cold-War era Christmas Carol is the scariest of all.

It is my understanding that Rod Serling's Carol for Another Christmas was only shown once, and the print is now owned by one of the schools of filmmaking.

This is a tale of the Cold War. In 1964 the Cuban Missile Crisis was still fresh. My neighbor in west Texas dug out his back yard to install a bomb shelter. Duck and cover drills were practiced by school children so they would be prepared for a nuclear blast. Rod Serling (writer of the Twilight Zone series) wonders what the Christmas Carol would have been like if Scrooge lived in this world.

Even though I was quite young at the time this show played there are scenes that I can remember clearly. The Scrooge character has been shown the devastation of the world of the future. He suffers great fear and wants to escape. He tries to climb a stylized wire fence But there is nowhere to go. The only things around are sparse, sterile ruins of a destroyed civilization. I wish I remembered how he resolved his conflict.
