The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) is a family holiday comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Scott Calvin has the North Pole humming along nicely as Santa, until Jack Frost decides he wants Christmas for himself.

With his wife Carol expecting their baby, Scott invites the whole family up to the Pole for the holidays and scrambles to keep his real job a secret from them. Frost seizes the chaos. He tricks Scott into invoking a long-forgotten Escape Clause, wishing he had never pulled on the red suit in the first place, and the wish drops everyone into a chilly alternate world where Frost runs the show. Tim Allen anchors it again, with Elizabeth Mitchell, Judge Reinhold, Ann-Margret and Alan Arkin around him, while Martin Short clearly enjoys every frosty minute as the villain.

This third entry wraps up Disney's trilogy on a tidy note: Christmas runs on people, not on the title. It is light, warm and squarely aimed at a movie night under the tree rather than at critics. Stream The Santa Clause 3 (2006) online on iFILM.
