The Santa Clause movies (trilogy) are the most underrated Christmas movies

Gonna be honest...I've always liked Tim Allen.
But, specifically, I think he's excellent as Santa Claus. He's a really good Santa Claus.
And these movies, a lot like Christmas Vacation, are extremely rewatchable. They're funny, heartwarming, whimsical, and at times magical - everything you'd hope for in a good Christmas movie.
Plus, the Santa Clause 2 and 3 are, imo, equally great because they actually take place entirely in the North Pole after Tim Allen has embraced the job of being Santa Claus.
There aren't many movies beside the Polar Express and a handful of others which take place entirely in the North Pole. For small children, it is the North Pole that is the most fascinating! It's the center of Christmas magic. Kids want to see Santa's workshop. They want to see Santa and Mrs. Claus sitting in their German style cottage next to a crackling fire drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows. They want to see Santa's elves, reindeer, and sleigh.
I love the Santa Clause trilogy.

SC. Scott Calvin.
Jude Law plays an awesome try hard step dad in that movie.
I also love that Santa Clause is like the Highlander in that movie universe.

I like how you summed up your post with this:

The last one with Martin Short, I didn't enjoy that much

Even for you this is absurd

Sounds like many a focus group was conducted to come to these conclusions.

I love the first one and it is one of my favorite Christmas movies, but the sequels are terrible.

I like these movies too. The first one is great and should be considered a Christmas classic. The second one was good too, but I never saw the third one.

the sequels were not horrible but i felt the look of the north pole was cheapened in the sequels.

If all of the adults don't believe in Santa Claus how do they explain all the presents just magically showing up? This movie is probably one of the more extreme examples of this. Kind of a funny thing to think about.
