** Played surprisingly straight for a children's film in the final act; After accidentally destroying the tires on the moving truck, the sleigh now needs to take off from the airport to get to the Children's Museum on time, with it and all the reindeer ending up on the runway while Ernest attempts to figure the command to get them to fly. They are quickly spotted by air traffic control and since they are an unidentified vehicle on a runway of Orlando International Airport, it's police force is swiftly sent out with Ernest managing to get the sleigh airborne in the nick of time. Next, radar operators are unable to figure out or visually identify what vehicle the sleigh is so it is declared a bogey and military fighter jets are scrambled to intercept with orders to shoot down the sleigh (!) if it enters Cape Canaveral airspace.

* DasherDancerPrancerAndNixon: It's a running gag that Ernest can't remember Blitzen's name in particular, referring to him as "Blister" when giving Santa a ride. At the climax, Ernest was trying a few terms to get the sleigh to take off, while the cops are arriving. The Christmas elves primed him by naming the first two reindeer, and Ernest managed to continue to in sequence. He fumbles with Blitzen, naming Squeaky, Squish, [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Dopey, Grumpy,]] Blister, before the elves give the correct name of Blitzen. Right before the end of the movie, while prepping the sleigh for the new Santa's big flight, Ernest lists off the names of the reindeer, but stalls when getting to Blitzen, which prompted everyone else to say Blitzen's name to remind Ernest.
