It has been over 25 years since “The Santa Clause” made it to the big screen, yet people still enjoy watching the Christmas movie during the Holidays.

“The Santa Clause” film premiered on November 11, 1994, and spread the Christmas vibes with a spectacular story of a regular guy who had to take on the role of Santa after making him fall off the roof.

Being a huge success, the movie spawned two sequels, “The Santa Clause 2” and “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause” in 2002 and 2006, respectively.

However, the two succeeding films weren’t nearly as successful as the first, which reached number one at the box office.

To this day, many watch the iconic trilogy in the spirit of Christmas and enjoy laughter with the spectacular cast. Here’s a look at how the actors and actresses of the film have been.

TIM ALLEN

Tim Allen’s career was over the top in the ‘90s, aside from starring as Santa Claus/Scott in the film. The actor famously played Buzz Lightyear in “Toy Story” and Tim Taylor in “Home Improvement.”

However, it was his role in “The Santa Clause” that got him two MTV Movie Awards nominations for Best Breakthrough Performance and Best Comedic Performance.

He also starred in “Wild Hogs,” “The Shaggy Dog,” “Crazy on the Outside,” and “Galaxy Quest,” before starring in the sitcom “Last Man Standing.”
