When episodes of the [[dub]] are aired in order, this episode and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' are placed between ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', as this is the point at which the episodes aired in Japan. This confuses viewers due to Ash using Charmander instead of Charizard and Misty still having her Starmie and Horsea (and not yet having her Togepi). Chronologically, these episodes go either directly before or directly after ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]''. Due to not airing when initially intended and being advertised as such by {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB!}}, it is considered by Bulbapedia to be a [[List of anime specials|special episode]]. | When episodes of the [[dub]] are aired in order, this episode and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' are placed between ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', as this is the point at which the episodes aired in Japan.

The English dub became available on Cartoon Network On Demand wherever available on cable providers in late March 2012, and has been added into the rotation on Boomerang as of 2011. No restrictions were placed on this episode in other countries airing the English dub or a dub based on the English dub, but the episode isn't mentioned on any local versions of Pokémon.com. However, this episode is banned in {{pmin|South Korea}}.

It turns out they plan to catch Santa Claus and grab all of his presents!" Although this episode once aired on Hungama TV in {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, it never aired on Disney XD India and was replaced by ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''. | The English dub became available on Cartoon Network On Demand wherever available on cable providers in late March 2012, and has been added into the rotation on Boomerang as of 2011.
