• Actor Allusion: While fighting the toy Santa in mid-air, the real Santa is told |"You are a sad, strange, little man."
  • In the first movie Scott |repeatedly grunts "Oh no!"
  • Also in the first movie, when Scott is first touring the North Pole he picks up a |tool belt and holds it to his waist.
• Adored by the Network: ABC Family often runs this movie and its sequels during 25 Days of Christmas.
  • They dropped the second film - maybe because of Charlie Sheen - but American Movie Classics quickly picked it up.
• Executive Meddling: A scene ended up deleted in the DVD releases because of complaints from one of the parents of the children who watched the film, tried to dial the number that Scott Calvin sarcastically gave (1-800-SPANK-ME), and discovered that it was a number for a real phone sex hotline.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: The Sandman is better known as Worf.
  • Not to mention Peter Boyle plays Father Time in the sequel... after having previously played Scott's boss in the first one.
  • Early 90's David Krumholtz had a New York accent thicker than his curls.
    • He's also Wednesday Addams's boyfriend.
  • The sequel has Juliet from before she went to The Island
    • And don't forget Ann-Margret and Alan Arkin as Carol's parents in the third film.
  • That guy at the teachers' Christmas party is Sgt. Walter Davis!
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Sweet little Lucy Miller is played by the actress who played the sour Mertle Edmunds from Lilo & Stitch: The Series.
• Irony as She Is Cast: The obviously Jewish David Krumholtz, playing the highest level elf in Santa's workshop.
• Missing Trailer Scene: The trailer for the first movie had Scott fooling around with a doll and chatting with some guy in front of a children's play area.
• Network to the Rescue: After Disney executives saw the final cut of the movie, they moved the project from their Hollywood Picture imprint to Disney proper, giving it a huge promotional boost.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The role of Scott Calvin/Santa Claus was originally written for Bill Murray.
  • Robin Williams and Tom Hanks were also considered for the role of Scott.
• Written-In Infirmity: After horrific skin problems from the prostheses he wore in the first movie, Tim Allen had "desantification" added to the sequel so he could limit his time in the Santa makeup. However, the later addition of a robot Santa meant he had to be in costume even longer than the first movie.
• You Look Familiar: Peter Boyle plays Scott's boss in the first movie, and Father Time in the second and third.
