- TriviaThe lingerie department is that of 'Dunnes' in the town of Ennis, Co.Clare (which the series is shot in and around). Funnily enough, it is, as of this writing, the largest lingerie department in Ireland.
- GoofsThere is a visit to a department store which boasts the largest lingerie department in Ireland. However, the establishing shot of the store is of Oxford Street in London. It even features a bus stop with the easily recognisable London Transport logo. The interior of the shop however is indeed a lingerie section in Dunnes Stores, an Irish shopping chain.

Featured review
If you watch this and don't have laughter pains there's something wrong.
I agree with other reviews, that 'A Christmassy Ted' does not fall flat of the typical problems that can sometimes be associated with a Christmas special. Double the length, but not half the quality, this longer episode does not suffer from any fillers to pad out what was an hour long special, instead it remains the absolute top quality of the remainder of the series. A typical surreal start, Ted's dream of Ballykissangel (which must have only just aired back in 96, is crudely interrupted by Dougal offering him a peanut, soon turns into another surreal nightmare. The whole episode is full of major belly laughs, they keep on coming. The funniest possibly being Jack's line (Ted 'What's behind tomorrow's window father Jack?) 'a pair of fe**in women's knickers,' and the instant look of real hilarity on Dermot's face, or Mrs Doyle's ungracious dismount from the window ledge. The episode continues in the same excellent way when Ted and co visit a department store, Ted, Dougall and the priests stuck in the ladies secret things department and Mrs Doyle's misery. A total joy to watch, it is so distressing to imagine the episodes we could have had, how cruel Dermot was taken at 45. 10/10
