Goofs

 * In the close-up of Elizabeth's wheels, the platform used to make her slide is seen.
 * Because stock footage is used, Henry is in his old shape.
 * Although this episode is called "Not So Hasty Cakes" in the American narration, the factory sign still says "Puddings".
 * Thomas left Terence behind after rescuing Elizabeth.
 * Because stock footage is used, Thomas and Toby can be seen pulling a Christmas tree at one point. But neither the tree nor Toby should be there as Thomas is supposed to be pulling Annie and Clarabel. Also, his snowplough is rust-colored when it should be blue.
 * Brakevans should have been added to Thomas, James, Salty, and Duncan's trains.
 * The US title on the Mud, Glorious Mud DVD is misleading as there was no avalanche in the episode.
