Paul van Gorcum turned down multiple offers to replace Bram van der Vlugt as the official Dutch Sinterklaas on national television. The role went to Stefan de Walle instead.
The part where Arjen Rooseboom is hiding behind the secret present and kids in the audience warning Ron Boszhard, was improvised on the spot.
Actors from children's series Kabouter Plop (1997) and Ernst, Bobbie en de rest (1998) declined to make a cameo appearance.
In response to this broadcast, Treble was invited to represent the Netherlands in The Eurovision Song Contest Semi Final (2006). They finished 20th out of 23 and didn't make it through to the final.
The show was once again performed in 2005 with Ron Boszhard, Paul van Gorcum, Dirk Scheele and the Eurokids returning, along with new artists. Actor and presenter Ewout Genemans joined as a co-host.
