The Santa Clause 3 is a joyless cash grab that even die-hard fans of the original will struggle to defend—critics and audiences agree it's a slog. Unless you're legally obligated to watch it with small children who've already exhausted all other options, skip it and revisit the first film instead.

Plot

Now that Santa and Mrs. Claus have the North Pole running smoothly, the Counsel of Legendary Figures has called an emergency meeting on Christmas Eve! The evil Jack Frost has been making trouble, looking to take over the holiday! 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.
