Trivia[]
- The title of the episode “The Best Christmas Ever” refers to Eric and the others throwing a Christmas party in the basement during Christmas Eve while Red and Kitty host their own Christmas party at the Forman House.
- First Christmas episode, followed by: Hyde's Christmas Rager, An Eric Forman Christmas, Christmas and Winter.
- Red says that he sold two items that night, but only Kelso visited the store. The reality is that he sold himself the Pong game that he and Kelso were playing. Because Kelso beats everyone at the game, he and Red later modify the game to make it harder with smaller paddles.
- The type of perfume that Eric get's for Donna is called "White Shoulders."
- In the scene where Kelso jumps over the couch to talk to Laurie, he was only supposed to jump onto the couch, but Ashton Kutcher's feet slipped on the cushions and hit his shins on the table, garnering a huge laugh from the audience. This is why Laurie is holding back laughter when Kelso starts talking to her.
- This is the last episode to feature the '76 license plate during the opening and end credits.
