Trivia

• The song Christmas Time Is Here was replaced with parts of the Christmas carols Schneeflöckchen Weißröckchen and Leise rieselt der Schnee. The original instrumental version is however kept in the score. Hark the Herald Angels Sing was also dubbed without heavy changes, aside from the instrumental.
  • Hark the Herald Angels Sing was slightly edited on DVD to remove slight pauses between verses and to fade out and cut off to fit the original special's footage, as the dub's footage was extended on television airings.
• A very few amount of extra sound effects have been added.
• This dub makes an appearance in the special Good Grief, Charlie Brown: A Tribute to Charles Schulz, which aired the day before Schulz' death in 2000, alongside the Pony Canyon Japanese dub, Ciné-Sync French dub, and the Leonardo Céspedes Producciones Latin American Spanish dub respectively.
  • This dub also appears in The Making of 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' (which aired in 2001), along with the Carioca Italian dub, Pony Canyon Japanese dub, and the Ciné-Sync French dub respectively. The scene with the four dubs in this documentary would later be reused in the 2015 special It's Your 50th Christmas, Charlie Brown.
