The Santa Clause is a 1994 American fantasy comedy film starring Tim Allen as Scott Calvin who must become Santa after accidentally causing Santa to fall to his death per the "Santa Clause". The film was followed by two sequels, The Santa Clause 2: The Mrs. Clause (2002) and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006). The "Mrs. Clause" stipulates that only married men can become Santa; should a single man be subject to the "Santa Clause" he must find a bride within eight years of his first assuming the new job as Santa. The "Escape Clause" stipulates if Santa holds a globe and says "I wish I'd never been Santa at all" will send him back in time and undoing his career as Santa. Jack Frost arrives and is in trouble and tries to trick Santa into renouncing his position.
On Christmas Eve, divorced dad Scott Calvin and his son discover Santa Claus has fallen off their roof. When Scott takes the reins of the magical sleigh, he finds he is now the new Santa, and must convince a world of disbelievers, including himself.
Better watch out! The big guy in red is coming to town once again. This time, Scott Calvin -- also known as Santa Claus -- finds out there's an obscure clause in his contract requiring him to take on a wife. He has to leave the North Pole to fulfill his obligations, or else he'll be forced to give up his Yuletide gig.
Now that Santa and Mrs. Claus have the North Pole running smoothly, the Counsel of Legendary Figures has called an emergency meeting on Christmas Eve! The evil Jack Frost has been making trouble, looking to take over the holiday! So he launches a plan to sabotage the toy factory and compel Scott to invoke the little-known Escape Clause and wish he'd never become Santa.
