A somewhat Christmas-themed episode. Dag is jealous after getting an air freshener for Arbor Day while Norb gets a train set.

Episode Summary[]

Dag holding a pine tree freshener

It's Arbor Day, and according to Dag, Christmas for beavers. After Dag drags Norb out of bed, they go to the door when the postman delivers the presents from their parents. Norb gets a giant train set, but Dag gets a little tree air freshener. Dag tries not to admit that he is jealous, even though Norb offers him to play with his train set.

Dag tries to make best of his little tree such as by dressing up as Muscular Beaver and using it as weapon. When he goes too far trying to sabotage Norb's train set, he ends up destroying the whole thing. Dag gives Norb his little tree in compensation, but then they receive another gift that apparently goes with the tree since it was too big to send together. It's revealed to be a giant remote controlled truck, and Dag just gives Norb his gift.

Production Information[]

  • This is a Christmas-themed episode, despite it suppose to be aired in December 1997 rather than in May 4, 1997.
  • Almost at the end on November 2016, this episode, along with "Go Beavers!" aired during TeenNick's "The Splat" 25th anniversary marathon. (citation needed)
  • On December 2016, this episode, along with "Go Beavers!", only aired on TeenNick's "The Splat" until Christmas Day.

Trivia[]

  • First time where Dag is dressed up as Muscular Beaver.
  • The train set returns in the Season 3 episode “Nice & Lonely” where Norbert and Bing ride it, despite it being destroyed in this episode.
    • Norbert most likely got a new train set after the events of this episode and before the events of “Nice & Lonely.”
    • Furthermore, the music during the scene of the train set being destroyed by Daggett in this episode would later be reused in “Nice & Lonely” during the scene where Norbert and Bing ride it.
  • The pine tree reappears in “Act Your Age”.
  • Norbert's model train set makes realistic railroad sound effects (such as diesel horns, wheel clicks, squealing brakes, etc.). However, a few later episodes with the train set just have the train making "regular" toy train sounds.
  • First time where a thought balloon visual (in this case, Dag's) shows everything like kindergarten drawings, colored roughly with crayons.
  • First time a music box version of The Angry Beavers opening theme is heard.
  • This episode takes place on April 25, 1996.[1]
  • This episode takes place before "Muscular Beaver," "Muscular Beaver 2," "Muscular Beaver 3," "Muscular Beaver 4," "Muscular Beaver 5," "Bummer of Love," and "Long in the Teeth."
  • This episode takes place after "Born to Be Beavers," "Up All Night," and "Up All Night II: Up All Day. The Reckoning."
  • Despite Arbor Day being referred to as "Beaver Christmas", it has been shown that Beavers do celebrate actual Christmas as well.
    • In "Brothers... to the End?", the exterior of Norbert and Daggett's dam has Christmas decorations shown.
    • In "House Sisters", Stacy recalls their father getting frustrated trying to put together their Christmas toys.
    • In the scrapped episode "Tree Flockers," the premise of the episode is that Norbert and Daggett sell flopped Christmas trees in July.
    • Norbert even wears a Santa hat in the title card of this episode.
  • The events of this episode were referenced in "Tree Flockers."
