Synopsis: Scott Calvin (Allen) is a divorced father who's simply trying to make it through Christmas Eve with his son Charlie (Eric Lloyd), but he reaches a few obstacles along the way. Most notably, he hears a noise on the roof and goes outside to see a man dressed as Santa Claus falling off the roof.
From there, the rest of his life begins. Scott finds a business card instructing him to put on the Santa suit and follow the reindeer's lead then he and Charlie get whisked away on a sleigh. After delivering presents and playing Santa for the night, they arrive in the North Pole and learn that Scott has unknowingly accepted the job as the new Santa Claus. He's hoping this is all a dream but soon begins to rapidly gain weight and grow a Santa-worthy beard.
Scott's relationship with Charlie has been strained since the divorce, but his new gig as Santa seems to breathe new life into their father-son bond. Can he embrace his new identity? More importantly, can he get his ex-wife on board? The hilarious adventure is full of festive and heartwarming twists and turns.
Synopsis: Scott has settled in nicely while adjusting to his role as Santa over the last few years. Unfortunately, his future as jolly old St. Nick is at risk when he learns that he must get married in order to continue being Santa. Otherwise, the de-Santafication process will begin.
To complicate matters even more, Charlie is misbehaving at school and Scott has to step in to speak to his strict principal Carol (Elizabeth Mitchell), who turns out to be nicer than she initially appears to be.
Can Scott encourage Charlie to curb his antics and find love while the clock is ticking? Watch to find out.
Synopsis: Scott has a lot going on this Christmas. He and his wife Carol are expecting their first child together and his in-laws are also visiting the North Pole for the first time. Plus, Jack Frost (Martin Short) is trying to take over the North Pole after hearing about a surprise clause that could change Santa's identity.
Synopsis: This Disney+ series revisits the holiday classic and follows Scott, Carol and their two children Sandra (Allen's own daughter Elizabeth Allen-Dick) and Cal (Austin Kane). Life in the North Pole is sweet and Santa has a team of loyal elves, but he faces a new phase of his life as he contemplates retirement.
Scott discovers that there's a clause allowing him to select his successor and live life in the human world once again. He searches far and wide before choosing a game developer named Simon (Kal Penn). Scott has high hopes for Simon, but the power quickly goes to his head and he makes changes that threaten the future of Christmas.
With Christmas spirit dwindling and elves suddenly disappearing, Scott and his family must return to the North Pole to save the holiday. The successful show also returned for a second season in 2023.
