As a Cookie Clicker fanatic, I can see a few optimizations 5mins in. For one, the Cookie Monster addon will help you optimize which things to buy and when GCs and Reindeers can spawns. You'll also want to time your GCs with Reindeers sometimes, as a CPS buff can increase your benefit from other GCs or Reindeers. Also there is an achievement you can get for free by clicking the icon, and more achievements means a higher multiplier. Ive spent too much time on this...

Funny part is, this wasn't even really an exploit. Christmas time not only is a legitimate holiday, but a legitimate feature within the game. You need only simply say he could've waited for Christmas time and done the same thing. He only simply altered time, that's it.

So, to me; Spiff is now the world record holder for the Cookie Clicker-No Click speed run at 30:49.82

He's not, simply because that's a different category in the category extensions: "Holiday - True Neverclick | Golden Cookies" WR is 21:50. Also, for the run to be valid he would've needed to keep the stats open for most of the run.
