“The Santa Clause,” released in 1994 and directed by John Pasquin, is a beloved holiday comedy that stars Tim Allen as Scott Calvin, a divorced dad who inadvertently becomes Santa Claus.

The story begins on Christmas Eve when Scott, a somewhat jaded toy salesman, is trying to make the holiday special for his son, Charlie. After a series of events leads to the original Santa falling off his roof, Scott puts on the Santa suit and unwittingly takes on the role of Santa.

As he begins to embrace his new identity, he faces challenges in convincing his son and his ex-wife, Laura, that he is indeed the real Santa. The film humorously explores the transformation Scott undergoes, including physical changes and a newfound sense of responsibility.
