Trivia This film marks the second of three times where Leslie Nielsen played Santa Claus. The other two were in the film "All I Want for Christmas" (1991) and an episode of the animated TV series "Chilly Beach" (2003). See more »
Goofs When the police call the news reporter to tell them about the people who have been missing their grandfather for ten years, in the reporters close up when he starts to wonder if he is with the real Santa Claus, a Canada Post truck can be seen in the background, which should not be there, since the movie's set in the United States. However, this does make sense at the same time, because the movie was filmed in Toronto, Canada. See more »
