Sonic Christmas Blast is a Christmas special based on Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, released in 1996, three years after Adventures ended its original 65-episode run. This special was created as a tie in with Sonic 3D Blast.Dr. Robotnik has captured Santa Claus and taken over his job, posing as Robotnik Claus. Robotnik Claus' plan is to have everyone on Mobius give him presents. It's up to Sonic to rescue the real Santa Claus, take back all the stolen presents, and deliver them to all the good people of Mobius. | |

Mall Santa | |
| Sonic Christmas Blast / int_23c68854 | comment |
Mall Santa: As part of his Robotnik Claus persona, Robotnik makes personal appearances at the Stacey's department store. Instead of asking children what they want for Christmas, he asks them what they want to give him. One little boy does not take this well and calls him out on this, which leads to Robotnik calling for Grounder to take him to his dungeon. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Sonic Christmas Blast / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: While showing off the ring that Sally got him last Christmas, Sonic meets a little bird, possibly meant to represent a Flicky, a species of bird that escapes from the robots when Sonic defeats them in the games, which are prominently featured in Sonic 3D Blast. The green robot that Robotnik talks to in two scenes resembles both Heavy from Knuckles Chaotix and Humpty from Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Sonic's first challenge to unlock the power of ultimate velocity is to snowboard down a mountain, which his video game counterpart does at the beginning of Ice Cap Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Sonic's second challenge is to ride a hang glider, which his video game counterpart does in Sky High Zone in the Master System and Game Gear versions of Sonic 2. Sonic's last line in the special is "The kids' rank; an X-Tremely Merry Christmas, every year of your life!", a reference to how this special was originally planned to be called An X-tremely Sonic Christmas to tie in with Sonic X-treme, a game planned for release on the Sega Saturn around the 1996 holiday season. However, since the game was delayed and later cancelled the following year, the special was renamed Sonic Christmas Blast to tie in with Sonic 3D Blast. | |

The Voiceless | |
| Sonic Christmas Blast / int_8ec0abf | comment |
The Voiceless: Except for an audible gasp provided by Tabitha St. Germain, Sally never actually has any dialogue in this special. A brief cut right after Sonic speaks with Sally at the beginning suggests that dialogue for her was already scripted and even animated, but was cut out because Kath Soucie (who had voiced the character on Sonic SatAM) was unable to reprise the role due to her contractual obligation of voicing Lola Bunny in Space Jam. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Sonic Christmas Blast / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: In an example of a character from SatAM appearing in a special pertaining to a different series, Princess Sally makes an appearance in this special. However, she gets absolutely no speaking lines, and plays very little role in the plot. Also, her "voice" (read: gasps and groans) is provided by Tabitha St. Germain instead of Kath Soucie, due to the latter being busy with Space Jam at the time. | |
