Trivia
Recycles most of its music from the earlier Hanna-Barbera special "A Christmas Story" as well as being an enhanced remake of the earlier Flintstones episode "Christmas Flintstone."

Goofs
It is somewhat illogical that a family existing in prehistory should celebrate an event which took place within recorded history.

Quotes
Barney Rubble: [drops a coin in the collection pot] Ho ho ho, and a Merry Christmas my good man.
Salvation Army Santa: Ho ho ho, and a Merry Christmas to you.
Fred Flintstone: A few more of those ho ho hos and you'll be bro-o-oke for Christmas.
Barney Rubble: Well I just can't say no to Santa Claus.
Fred Flintstone: You know those guys in the red suits aren't the real Santa Claus.
Barney Rubble: I wouldn't say that Fred, he's here, he's there, he's everywhere.

I'm not really sure how Christmas can exist in a prehistory setting, but I tried not to let this spoil my enjoyment.

Fred is roped into playing Santa Claus by his boss for a bunch of underprivileged kids, but the real Santa falls off his roof and sprains his ankle, forcing Fred to take his place.

As Xmas Specials go it's certainly one of the better ones. But it gets off to an iffy start when they recycle a song, frame-by-frame, from the dull as ditchwater 1972 Special 'A Christmas Story', thankfully the rest is all Flintstones. And without the distracting laugh track which frequently spoiled enjoyment of the TV show.
