1	* ActorSharedBackground: The girl in the park who asks Scott for ballet shoes (listed as "Ballet Girl" in the credits) is actual ballerina Tabitha Lupien.
2	* AdoredByTheNetwork:
3	** Creator/{{Freeform}} ''loves'' to run this movie and ''3'', usually one right after the other, during ''25 Days of Christmas''. Like ''Film/HocusPocus'', its omnipresence has even been lampshaded in ads on the network.
4	** After Freeform dropped the second film, Creator/{{AMC}} quickly picked it up. It later moved to Creator/{{FX\|Networks}} before moving back to AMC in 2018. Freeform's ''25 Days of Christmas'' ads lampshade this by promising to show "all the ''Santa Clause'' movies. ''[{{beat}}]'' That we're allowed to show." All three movies are shown on-screen during the former sentence, but ''2'' literally drops off the screen during the latter.
5	** Freeform lost access to the third film for a while, during which it was adored by the Creator/{{Starz}} networks, before it was regained by Freeform in 2018.
6	** For 2019, Freeform has picked up all three of the movies, airing them together for the first time since 2010.
7	* CaliforniaDoubling: Most of the film was shot in Ontario. In one scene, a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Chalet Swiss Chalet]] restaurant stands in for a Denny's.
8	* ColbertBump: This movie perhaps kept the Mystery Date board game from fading into obscurity.
9	* TheOtherDarrin:
10	** Bob Bergen takes over from Frank Welker as Comet in 2 and 3.
11	** In the European French dub, Creator/MichelPapineschi replaced Nagui as Scott Calvin starting with ''The Santa Clause 2''.
12	** Ditto with Creator/VeroniqueAugereau replacing Caroline Chantolleau as Laura Calvin Miller in the sequels.
13	* RealLifeRelative:
14	** Spencer Breslin and his sister [[Creator/AbigailBreslin Abigail]] both appear in ''The Escape Clause''.
15	** Tim Allen's daughter, Elizabeth Allen-Dick, has been announced as playing Scott/Santa's daughter Sandra in ''The Santa Clauses''.
16	* SequelGap: The second movie was released eight years after the first. While the third film was released four years after that, the limited series ''The Santa Clauses'' didn't come out until 2022, sixteen years afterward.
17	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Mary Gibbs, who voiced Boo in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' was originally cast in the role of Scott's niece Lucy, before they decided to hire an older actress. Gibbs permanently quit acting afterwards.
18	* WorkingTitle: In its earliest stages, the script was called ''Rose Suchak Ladder'', making the eponymous ladder's appearance in the film a MythologyGag.
19	* YouLookFamiliar: Creator/PeterBoyle plays Scott's boss in the first movie, and Father Time in the second and third.
