How about a new villain and a dash of It's a Wonderful Life to spice up the
third installment of the popular Tim Allen holiday franchise? Under the
onslaught of another Christmas season, Santa Claus/Scott Calvin (Allen) is
feeling even more pressure because Mrs. Claus (Elizabeth Mitchell, reprising
her role from The Santa Clause 2) is expecting a little Claus and also longing
for the company of some "tall people." So Scott agrees to let her
parents (Ann-Margret and Alan Arkin) visit as long as they believe that they're
really in Canada rather than at the North Pole. Further complicating matters
is a visit by Scott's ex-wife (Wendy Crewson), her husband (Judge Reinhold),
and their daughter, Lucy (Liliana Mumy). Enter the bad boy of the Council of
Legendary Figures, Jack Frost (Martin Short), who's supremely jealous of the
figures who have their own holidays, especially Santa. So he launches a plan
to sabotage the toy factory and compel Scott to invoke the little-known Escape
Clause and wish he'd never become Santa. The resulting evocation of a classic
Christmas movie, It's a Wonderful Life, is seasoned with a splash of Back to
the Future when Scott rewinds 12 years (has it really been that long?) to when
it all began. Though neither sequel has matched the charm of the original
Santa Clause, both have been safe, reliable family fare. (All ages: some crude
humor)

Muž, který kdysi omylem zabil Santu Clause a musel se chopit jeho povinností, se vrací ve svém červeném kabátě v další rodinné komedii, kdy jindy než o Vánocích. Nový Santa si na Vánoce pozve na návštěvu tchána s tchyní, aby se přidali ke společné oslavě. Už tak velký předvánoční zmatek naroste, když se objeví lákavá možnost, jak přestat být Santou Clausem a zbavit se jeho povinností. Situace ovšem využije záludný Jack Mráz a promění Vánoce na severním pólu i po celém světě v pořádně mrazivé Mráznoce. Santa tak přecijen musí absolvovat divokou jízdu na saních a čelit nejděsivější výzvě svého života, aby Vánoce zachránil.
