The spirit of the season is alive and well in this hilarious and heart-warming trilogy, telling the story of a toy salesman who unwittingly finds himself filling the biggest boots in the world! Tim Allen is simply excellent as Saint Nick (or Scott Calvin, depending on how you look at it!), though the show is very nearly stolen by the third film when Martin Short’s spectacular Jack Frost hits the scene!
