Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis is the only "Santa Clause" movie where Santa's Head Elf Bernard doesn't make an appearance. David Krumholtz wasn't available since his Numbers schedule conflicted with the filming. Because of this, the script was written with the returning character Curtis having taken over as the Head Elf.
- GoofsWhen Scott and Jack Frost travel back to Christmas Eve twelve years earlier, the former Santa vanishes immediately after landing on the ground. In the original film, he remained a solid body long enough for Scott to search his clothing and find the card.
- Quotes
Mrs. Claus: [referring to Laura and Neil] Oh, it's tall people...
[to Lucy]
Mrs. Claus: Not that you're not tall.

Featured review
Just what we expected
Took the kids to see this and they loved it. I didn't have high expectations but was entertained and got the predictable feel good, happy ending. I agree with others that it was a couple notches better than the second movie. All and all, a good way to kick off the holiday movie season.
Other notes of interest: The actress playing Mrs. Clause is on the T.V. show Lost now. That took a little getting used to. Martin Short did a nice job as Jack Frost. The blooper reel at the end of the movie is pretty lame. Not funny at all. Plus, when the bloopers are literally shown 3 seconds after the end of the movie, it takes away from the movie itself. The kids are still smiling and in a magical place then "poof", magic is over here are the actors messing up their lines. It's like seeing Peter Pan on stage and right after the show, they show you all the wires that were used to make him fly. Save the bloopers for the DVD.
