- When Mr. Burns says, "I have a monopoly to maintain: I own the electric company and the water works, plus the hotel on Baltic Avenue," it is an obvious reference to the popular board game of the same name. Principal Skinner's claim that "that hotel is a dump" may refer to the fact that Baltic Avenue is the second cheapest piece of property on the Monopoly game board. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- Mystery Science Theater 3000 was playing at Moe's. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- Homer escaping from the overturned paddywagon is a homage to The Fugitive. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- In the first part, Mr. Burns sings "hello lamp-post, what you knowin', I'm come to watch your power flowin'", which echo the lyrics of Simon & Garfunkel's '59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)' (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- The musical score that ends the Part 1 of the episode (when the credit rolls) is a parody of John Williams' Drummers' Salute, which is part of the musical score he wrote for Oliver Stone's movie JFK. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- The nightclub is called 'Chez Guevara', a reference to Che Guevara. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- The nightclub where Tito Puente and his band perform looks like the Tropicana from I Love Lucy. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- The opening sequence of part two, wherein Smithers dreams that he merely dreamt shooting Mr. Burns, before going on to dream that they are in fact undercover detectives on the 1960s Speedway racing circuit (itself parodying The Mod Squad and Quinn Martin's programs), is similar to an incident on the 1980s soap opera Dallas, in which the events of an entire season (including an attempted murder) were explained away as being merely a character's dream. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- The scene where Chief Wiggum has a dream in which Lisa speaks backwards is an obvious homage to Twin Peaks and Special Agent Dale Cooper's interaction with The Man from Another Place. Also, after Homer escapes from the paddywagon, the Squeaky-Voiced Teen speaks to his manager Diane, which is the same name as the unseen secretary that Agent Cooper dictates messages to. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- The title and the idea of these two episodes are also taken from the series Dallas. In Dallas, they had the "Who shot J.R." two episodes, the first of which ending a season, and the second opening the next season. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- Groundskeeper Willie's interrogation, especially him crossing and uncrossing his legs, is a parody of the famous interrogation scene in Basic Instinct. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)
- Sideshow Mel demonstrates deductive reasoning and logic similar to that demonstrated by noted fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. This connection is further noted by Mel's smoking of a pipe during his reflections, as Holmes was frequently known to do. (Who Shot Mr. Burns?)

- The little boy in the play at the beginning appears to be Ralph Wiggum, but his voice is completely different.
- The second grade class, Lisa's class, presents "Santas of Many Lands". In Germany, Santa gives the parents of bad children whipping rods for Christmas. Lisa's costume as a tribal Santa shows that she is only wearing a very thin grass skirt on her lower half, looking very unusual. (The commentary on the DVD release explains that she is actually wearing a bodysuit.)

- Marge hides the Christmas jar in her hair.
- Mr. Burns does not give Christmas bonuses to "semi-skilled workers" that year.

- Sonic Youth as themselves
Additions to ListGenBot list 'SimpsonsGoofs':
- The Australian accents used are inaccurate, being more cockney than genuine Australian English.
- Debatable goof: When the photo of the kid sitting on Homer/Santas lap is taken merry is spelt merrie. However, this could likely be intentional, with it being a 'cartoony' spelling. (Also bear in mind the 'Merrie Melodies' cartoons, to which it could even be a slight nod).
Additions to ListGenBot list 'SimpsonsCultural':
- Among the many groups referenced/shown in this episode: Sonic Youth, The Smashing Pumpkins, Cypress Hill, Peter Frampton, Jimi Hendrix, Grand Funk Railroad, Edgar Winter Group, KISS, Led Zeppelin, ABBA, Nine Inch Nails, Jefferson Starship, Jefferson Airplane, The Alan Parsons Project, Styx, Pink Floyd, Bread, the London Symphony Orchestra, Guns N' Roses and Blue Öyster Cult.
- When Mr. Burns was at the post office asking the postal clerk "I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?", Prussia was once a powerful European empire that now covers Germany and parts of Poland, Siam is a country now known Thailand, and the autogyro is an aircraft that later paved the way for the invention of the helicopter.
- The song played during the airplane show is Rock You Like a Hurricane by German Hard Rock band the Scorpions
- All in the Family: A similar storyline, in which Archie does not get his Christmas bonus and puts off telling his family the news, was used in the classic sitcom's 1971 Christmas episode, "Christmas Day at the Bunkers."
- "The Christmas Song": The episode title is taken from the lyrics of this classic Christmas song, written by Mel Tormé and Bob Wells.
- Christmas specials/movies: Bart references various yuletide specials - A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Smurfs Christmas Special, and A Christmas Carol - when he insists that a Christmas miracle will happen, despite the family's heretofore misfortune.
- Discount stores: The Circus of Values store where the Simpsons shop is Springfield's deep-discount store, a la Dollar General and Family Dollar, which were becoming popular during the mid- to late-1980s.
- "Jingle Bells": Bart adds alternative lyrics to the melody of "Jingle Bells." While singing the song Bart mentions Batman, Robin, the Batmobile, and the Joker.
- Miracle on 34th Street: The Christmas movie is homaged in the scene where Bart visits with "Santa" (Homer) and - just like the boy who is rude to Santa in the movie - makes the disrespectful remark, "I'm Bart Simpson; who the hell are you?" (because he suspects Homer is not the real Santa).
- Bart and Barney sing "We're in the Money" while entering the dog track. The song was written by Al Dubin and Harry Warren for Gold Diggers of 1933.
- A Christmas Carol is mentioned as having a scene portrayed at the Christmas Pageant. Tiny Tim is mentioned as well.
Additions to ListGenBot list 'SimpsonsQuotes':
- Chief Wiggum: Do not be alarmed, continue swimming naked. (Eating popcorn) Aw come on! Continue! (To Lou) All right Lou, open fire.
