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.
Sam: Why didn't you call me?
Dean: Well. I mean, I, you know, figured you were... "practicing your sign language."
Sam: And that's more important than coming to save you? Dean?
Dean: Dang it. Dang -- Damn it. Damn it! "Language," my ass.
Mrs. Butters: It -- Oh. Dean. Eat your vegetables. And, Sam... cut your hair. And, Jack... go save the world. Well. Goodbye, boys.
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!"
- The Mario Brothers - Mario and Luigi - are two Italian-American bothers who are plumbers and the stars the video game franchise named after them.
One of the sigils that Mrs. Butters absorbs herself into when she puts the Bunker in standby mode is that of a Twanas symbol, 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?
- A roomba is an automated, self-propelling vacuum cleaner.
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.
- A millennial is someone born between 1981 and 1996. Given he was born in 2017, strictly speaking Jack belongs to Generation Alpha.
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.
Dean: Oh, wow. Somebody's shopping at Abercrombie & Bitch.
- Abercrombie & Fitch is a clothing designer often associated with the "preppy" look.
Dean: Yeah, we had a good thing going, and, of course -- of course -- you had to go full Nurse Ratched.
- Nurse Ratched is the main antagonist in Ken Kesey's 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest which was later made into a play and then a 1975 Academy Award wining movie. She is a nurse in psychiatric insinuation who enjoys tormenting and humiliating the patients. In 2020, Sarah Paulson starred as Nurse Ratched in a series by Ryan Murphy called "Ratched".
Dean: Now, I was angry with you... for a while. And maybe I still am a little bit, okay? But I'm not gonna let some Evil Mary Poppins take you out. Do you understand?
Dean: Alright, now, remember -- pain is just weakness leaving the body, mm? On three. Here we go.
Minutiae
We learn in this episode that Dean owns a pair of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! boxers.
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.
Mrs. Butters can take on a green incorporeal smoke form, much like the Wicked Witch of the West did.
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.
Dean gets to use the grenade launcher for the first time since 12.22 Who We Are, though he did attempt to equip himself with it in 15.10 The Heroes' Journey.
It is revealed that Mjölnir has been in Sam and Dean's possession since 8.02 What's Up, Tiger Mommy?
This episode is the second time that Sam has had an onscreen birthday celebration since his birthday picnic with Amelia Richardson and Riot in 8.03 Heartache.
Cuthbert: Cuthbert Sinclair, Men of Letters, File 5150. As you know, Henshaw was successful in retrieving a wood nymph from the Thule's laboratories.
- Henshaw is a reference to Clifford Henshaw, who was the mentor of Delphine Seydoux.
This is the second holiday themed episode in which Sam has his fingernails ripped off, the first time being in 3.08 A Very Supernatural Christmas.
We finally learn that the telescope in the Bunker is actually an "interdimensional geoscope." When Dean says he did not see anything when he looked into it earlier, Mrs. Butters tells them that that is "not good." As we saw in 15.12 Galaxy Brain, Chuck has been destroying the other universes, which explains why Dean did not see anything through the scope.
In 12.18 The Memory Remains, Ketch looked through the geoscope and remarked that he couldn't see a "damn thing." Though, as we learned in this episode, the Bunker was only running on half-power, which would explain why he did not see anything when he looked through it.
