The Santa Clause (1994)

I love Christmas movies, so I may be a bit softer on this one than it truly deserves. It just works for me. I especially like the scenes in which Allen is adjusting to his new life…trying to reconcile the magical with the regular… the scenes at the North Pole seem like filler in comparison. Great Christmas movie to play "in the background" while decorating or popping cookies in and out of the oven.
