Scott Calvin is dead. Only Santa remains. And with the combined forces of Scott’s 90’s business know-how and good old fashioned Christmas magic, the happiness of the world’s children is up a whopping 86%, even as the world grapples with the murky landscape of a post 9/11 socio-political arena.

This halcyon status quo is threatened however, when a hitherto unseen fine print of the infamous Santa Clause reveals that Santa must find a wife before Christmas, or lose his powers forever. Can Santa find love? Can Scott Calvin remember how to be a normal man on Earth?

Join Nick and Scott on another festive FRANCHISOGRAPHY as they debate the merits of this much more cuddly and kid-friendly sequel, 2002’s THE SANTA CLAUSE 2.
