Errors

 * The episode shows that, for three years straight, the Titans have not received any gifts from Santa, which disregards the continuity from "Second Christmas". In that episode, the Titans received gifts at the beginning.
 * On the third year of Christmas where the Titans are discussing how to get Santa to arrive, viewers can see that on the computer screen there is an app that says "Terra's Drive". That cannot be the case since Terra took out her drive in the episode, "Be Mine".
