[edit] Easter Eggs
- Click on the candy cane to change its color.

- Click directly underneath the Puppet Style link to see Seasonal Sweaters.
[edit] Fun Facts
[edit] Explanations
- This off-season Decemberween cartoon was made because there had not been a Decemberween toon in 2003. Mike and Missy were planning their wedding, which left The Brothers Chaps little time for a proper Decemberween toon. Several ideas were tried, but all were scrapped by Christmastime 2003; these various abandonded concepts eventually inspired the cornucopia approach of this toon.
- An unfinished version of the Teen Girl Squad segment was shown at an appearance at the University of Central Florida in spring 2004.
[edit] Trivia
- The back button will always lead back to Main Page 16, which is the snow-themed homepage.
- The YouTube description for this toon is "A collection of Decemberween shorts!"
[edit] Remarks
- One can still click on the other Easter eggs and toons while watching either of the puppet toons.
- This is because the puppet toons themselves are separate Flash files, designed and scripted to appear within the main Flash file.
[edit] Goofs
- The contrast knob on the Compy 386 cannot be adjusted.
- The reflection of the candy cane on the Compy's screen is wrong. The stripes should be going down from right to left, opposite the direction of the actual candy cane. Otherwise, all individual stripes would end up where they started from.
[edit] Inside References
- The candy cane Easter egg and the Christmas lights are the similar to the ones in the Decemberween Email Menu. The orange-and-blue candy cane having a gray piece is also from the Decemberween Email Menu.
[edit] Real-World References
- The title is a play on stores that have "Christmas in July" sales.
[edit] Fast Forward
- The release date of this toon (July 12) would later become the official "Decemberween in July" date on the 2010 Calendar.
[edit] DVD Version
- Homestar vs. Little Girl can now be viewed by selecting the candy cane.
- A creators' commentary can be accessed in Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes.
[edit] YouTube Version
- All the toons are played in order, except for Seasonal Sweaters, which does not play at all.
