What's left behind the scenes
- The filmmakers wanted to end the movie with a kiss between the characters played by Amy Smart and Mark-Paul Gosselaar against a backdrop of snow, so the snow had to be added to the shot using digital technology.
- Kate's watch (played by Amy Smart) is very similar to the watch Phil wears, played by Bill Murray in Harold Ramis's fantasy comedy "Groundhog Day" (1993), and the film "12 Dates of Christmas" itself was inspired by "Groundhog Day."

- Every time Amy Smart's character wakes up on Christmas Eve, one of the gifts mentioned in the classic Christmas carol 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' appears in the frame during the following day.
- While talking to Jane Eastwood's character about a trip to Mexico, Jim, played by Richard Fitzpatrick, mentions Zihuatanejo. This is a reference to screenwriter Aaron Mendelsohn's favorite film, 'The Shawshank Redemption' (Frank Darabont, 1994), as the characters played by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman meet on a beach there in the finale.
