How many of these have you spotted before?
The festive season calls for watching some of the classic Christmas flicks. But we are sure that you have missed some of the many Easter eggs and cameos in these movies on your first viewing. The best part about these Christmas movies is that that they have not only withstood the test of time but also weathered repeat viewings
Fortunately, the holiday season is a perfect excuse to revisit the classics and run down the many Easter eggs, clever in-jokes, and subtle asides dotted throughout its runtime. Here are all of the hidden details that viewers have picked up on so far:
1.The pizzeria’s name:InHome Alone(1990) the pizzeria from where the McAllisters order Pizza from, “Little Neros Pizza” is a play on “Little Caesars Pizza.” Like Caesar, Nero was also a Roman Emperor.
2The Slot Machines:InThe Nightmare Before Christmas(1993) the slot machines are literally “one armed bandits” (bonus: the number 7 that is typically part of a slot machine is replaced with the number 13)
3.The Horton statue:InHow the Grinch Stole Christmas(2000), the Whoville clocktower features a statue of Horton the Elephant ofHorton Hears a Who!
4.Martha May’s jewels:InThe GrinchMartha May Whovier is wearing jewels in her hair salvaged from the tree topper Young Grinch made for her.
5.Hermey’s ears and hair:InRudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer(1964) the main reason why Hermey never fits in is because he isn’t an elf but is in fact a human. This is suggested by the fact that he has hair, unlike the other elves, and has round ears instead of pointed.
6.Yukon’s peppermint search:When Yukon Cornelius buries his pick axe into the ice, removes it, and licks it inRudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer(1964), he isn’t checking for silver or gold. He was in fact searching for peppermint mines which he eventually finds.
7.The head count:InHome Alone(1990) when they counted the people for the trip they say there’s 17 people in total. An odd number between two vans means they will be split 8/9. Since Kevin was missing both vans had 8 people instead, making each group assume they were on the 8-people van, not suspecting a thing
8.The fake feet:InHome Alone(1990), Marv is wearing fake feet
9.The Hans Christian Anderson Easter egg:InFrozen 2(2019), when Elsa is walking through the memories of the past, she sees her parents as youth.

12.The hidden gremlin: InGremlins(1984), one of the gremlins emerges from behind an E.T. doll; a nod to Steven Spielberg who produced Gremlins. Also beside it are Bugs Bunny and Sylvester, both Warner Bros Studios characters.
13.This nickname: In the movieIt’s A Wonderful Life(1946) Jimmy Stewart’s daughter is named ZuZu, after a cookie called “ZuZu’s Gingersnaps”. He can be heard referencing this when he calls out “ZuZu, my little gingersnap!”
14.The vanishing cyclops: InThe Nightmare Before Christmas(1993), during the “Making Christmas” number, the Cyclops ends up vanishing after a box comes in the frame. Spooky!
