Notes

• Could be bought at The Crimbo Cafe during Crimbo 2005 or the Crimborg Nutrition Station during Crimboween 2006 for 100 meat, but was instantly drunk when purchased.
• When this drink was introduced in 2005 it was the only drink to give exactly 5 drunkenness. The 2006 Crimboween festivities have added two more: gin and hot choculate.

References

• The name is a pun (sort of) referring to Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker Suite.
• The line about the sugarplums is a reference to the poem "A Visit From Saint Nicholas" by either Clement Clarke Moore or Henry Livingston which reads: Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house/Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;/The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,/In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;/The children were nestled all snug in their beds,/While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
• The addition of a "tastes like chicken" clause in the 2006 version refers to the movie The Matrix, which explained the resemblance of many meats to chicken as a lack of imagination by the machine creators of the virtual world (like the virtual Crimbo Cafe).
• "You're all full of holidy cheer. And sugar. Holidy cheer and sugar" is a possible reference to the Broodwich episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, specifically when Shake complains about the lack of bacon and the disembodied voice explains that "There are no swine evil enough to sacrifice upon a bed of evil. And lettuce. Evil and lettuce."
