Christmas Countdown: The Santa Clause (1994)

Every day from December 1st to 24th, we will be counting down to Christmas by profiling holiday classics both old and new.  Arranged in chronological order, these are some of our favourites to watch every year.  Enjoy!

Starring Tim Allen as a divorced man who is thrust into the job of Santa Claus and everything that entails, The Santa Clause was a hit for Disney in 1994 and it still holds up to repeat viewings year after year.  Helping his son believe in Santa and changing his own attitude in the process, the film is filled with enough Christmas spirit for the whole family to enjoy.  Skip the inferior sequels and just watch the charming original.
