* [[Jack Frost]] states that he has a face in every [[snowflake]]. This is similar to the [[Great Intelligence]], who used sentient snow to monitor and murder people in [[1892]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'') | |||
* Before murdering two members of the crew, Frost takes a liking to a paper [[Christmas hat|Christmas crown]].
