Trivia[]
- This is the first special for a few things:
- By production order, this is the first special produced for the sixth season.
- This is the first special to not include the 'combining two episodes' format.
- The first special where Wilson, Brewster, Koko, Zephie, Piper, and Vee are voiced by Teddy West, Harry Reeve, Alyssa Burton, Lola Shepelev, Faith Delaney, and Jacqueline Davis in the British dub, and Jordan C. Reed, Jacks Dean, Madigan Kacmar, Lily Sanfelippo, Dakota Phillips, and Julie Wions in the American dub.
- The first special where Zack and Morgan are voiced by Mick Wingert and William Stern in the American dub.
- The first special to have music composed by Alex Geringas and Karam Salem.
- The first special to be released under the title, "Tales from the Rails."
- The first special to be written by Michael G. Stern.
- The special is the twenty-sixth episode in production order of the sixth season, meaning the special takes place in between Chuggington Noir and Imagine That.
- Chugging Home from Discover Chuggington: All Aboard! is played during the episode.
- In Rosa's fantasy of San Locomota, one of the chuggers resembles Speedy.
- A Christmas-themed instrumental version of Celebrate Chuggington can be heard at one point during the special.
- On the eleventh of May, 2021, a clip of the British dub of the special was leaked on the Chuggington UK YouTube channel.
- The title is a reference to the disambiguation films, Home for the Holidays.
Goofs[]
- In the US dub, when Wilson and Brewster rate Zephie's skating, their voices are swapped.
- It happens again later when Wilson and Brewster say "cool" and "wow" for the second time.
- In the aerial shot of Wilson, Brewster, Koko, and Rosa passing by a blocked line covered in snow, Brewster's snowplow is missing.
- When Wilson, Brewster, Koko and Rosa arrive at the Drop and Load Yard for the Noche De Estrellas festival, their parade lights (as well as the lights of the others present) disappear.
- The riser platform moves diagonally while Rosa is on it, when in reality it only moves vertically.
- Mtambo's headlights clip through the top section of the cabin that he's in.
- The Roundhouse Park is missing all of its trees.
- There's a major plot hole in the episode; as stated by the trainees, the Festival of Lights was supposed to be held on the day after the Noche De Estrellas, making it possible for the chuggers to participate in both of them. However, as they get back from their unsuccessful trip, the Festival of Lights happens on the same night. This could only be explained with their trip home from the High Mountain Pass taking over a day, which is extremely unlikely.
- BBC iPlayer lists the episode as releasing on the 7th March 2021, which is the same air date as Celebrate Chuggington.
