Quotes
Mrs. Butters: When the lads left for the ceremony, I was told to stay behind, guard the Bunker. But the never returned. So, to keep the Bunker safe, I placed it and myself in standby mode.
Mrs. Butters: I never dreamed... it would take this long to be reactivated.
Sam: Yeah, we don't totally know everything about this place yet.
Mrs. Butters: I know how busy your work can be. If you're anything like the others, then it has been an age since you had a home-cooked meal or celebrated the holidays or -- oh -- ahem -- washed your clothes.
Sam: Yeah, we're not really holiday people.
Sam: Yeah, we're not really holiday people.
Dean: He'll be fine. I mean, I've been through worse. Look at me. I'm the picture of health.
Sam: Ignoring your trauma doesn't make you healthy.
Dean: Whoo! Well, that's gotta be a record. I mean no investigation, no dead ends. Just -- ding! Bloodsuckers. That monster radar rules.
Trivia & References
Dean: Oh, yeah -- "uh, hey, Mario Brothers? Yeah, could you come the most secretive, secure supernatural hideout in the world? Great. Thanks. gom Luigi!"
We learn in this episode that Dean owns a pair of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! boxers.
One of the sigils that Mrs. Butters absorbs herself into when she puts the Bunker in standby mode is that of a twanas, which is best known as the stick man charm from The Blair Witch Project, which was co-directed by "Last Holiday" director, Eduardo Sanchez.
Sam: Even if she is what she says she is, some kind of --
Dean: Magic Roomba?
The vampires are watching an episode of the gothic soap opera, Dark Shadows before Sam and Dean burst through the door.
Mrs. Butters: What are you?
'Dean: He's a millennial. Don't let that throw you.
The montage set to "Cleanin' Up the Town" by The BusBoys, and Dean's earlier proclamation of "Any bloodsuckers in here?" after entering a vampire nest, are a reference to this scene from Ghost Busters.
Minutiae
Dean: Dude,we fought the Devil, okay? I've killed Hitler. I think we can handle a few old pipes.
- Dean is referencing when he shot the newly resurrected Adolf Hitler in the head in 12.05 The One You've Been Waiting For.
Dean: Now... burger time. Meat man! Comin' to town!
- Dean previously referred to himself as a "meat man" in 15.04 Atomic Monsters. It is still uncertain if he knows what the term actually means.
Mrs. Butters mentions she got her name from "Mr. Ganem". Larry Ganem was one of the last surviving Men of Letters that Sam and Dean met, who was killed in 2013 by Abaddon. She also makes mention of "Markham" and "Ackers" two of the Men of Letters who were killed at the initiation of Henry Winchester and Josie Sands in 1958.
The Men of Letters Bunker radar system designates vampires with the color red.
Dean: Oh. Dude, you gotta see this thing. It's like I'm wrapped in hugs.
- Dean had previously noted his enjoyment of wearing a sleeping robe (and nightcap) in 13.16 Scoobynatural, where he also told Sam it felt like he was "wrapped in hugs."
"Last Holiday" marks the third time Sam has seen Dean's penis in an episode, after 3.01 The Magnificent Seven and 5.11 Sam, Interrupted.
This is the second holiday themed episode in which Sam has a fingernail ripped off, the first time being in 3.08 A Very Supernatural Christmas.
