Notes
- In the "Up on the Rooftops!" story, Wildcat is missing during the JSA's Christmas dinner. This possibly implies that the story takes place on the Christmas Day (2025) after Ted Grant's death during the events of JSA (Volume 2) #6.
- Similarly, the "Shine in the Silence" story also takes place around Christmas 2025.
- In the I'll Be Home for Hanukkah" story, Galaxy recalls Hawkgirl becoming the Knight of the Nth World during the events of Hawkgirl (Volume 2).
- In the "It's a Wonderful Life" story:
- Phantom Stranger brings Animal Man back to the events of Strange Adventures #201 and Animal Man #7. He also recalls Animal Man saving Earth from The Rot during the Rotworld storyline.
- Animal Man also mentions helping the League in a couple Crises, which is a nod to Baker being involved during the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis;
- In the alternate timeline, in which Animal Man never existed, Vixen, Beast Boy and Freedom Beast are the main conduits of The Red. Beast Boy replaces Animal Man during the events of Strange Adventures #201 and Animal Man #7, and Freedom Beast replaces him during the events of 52 #7–9, Justice League of America (Volume 2) #25– from The Second Coming storyline– and Justice League Dark (Volume 2) #20– from the The Parliaments of Life storyline.
- Phantom Stranger brings Animal Man back to the events of Strange Adventures #201 and Animal Man #7. He also recalls Animal Man saving Earth from The Rot during the Rotworld storyline.
- The "Holiday Woes" story takes place during the Rebirth era, as Supergirl has recently become the guardian of National City.
- The "A Martian on 34th Street" story takes place before the events of Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight, as Krampus is still a villain.
Trivia
- The title is a play on the Christmas song I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus written by Tommie Connor and recorded by Jimmy Boyd.
- The books from Clark's room in the "Holiday Woes" story are nods to DC: The New Frontier and Superman for All Seasons.
