slo’s MONDAY 12/11 poll - The Santa Clause (Movies & Series) 🎅🏼

[slo]

The Santa Clause with Tim Allen is going to be 30 years old next year - unbelievable! I remember seeing this in a movie theater like yesterday. At one time, before streaming, abc would play this movie every Thanksgiving evening, and we’d always watch it. Now we watch it every year on Disney+. As many know there’s 3 movies and now the series. My question today is…..

Which The Santa Clause movies do you watch every year?
Do you watch The Santa Clauses series?
How important is it to watch these every year?
(multiple choice)


For Me……I love the original The Santa Clause movie, I like the other 2 movies and I’m not liking the series. It is an absolute MUST for me to watch Ths Santa Clause every year - it’s my second favorite Christmas movie. The other 2 movies I put on while I bake (we have a tv in the kitchen) - these movies are movies I like to watch, but don’t necessarily need to sit down and pay attention to them. The series is going to be a one and done - we don’t like it. As long as they make them, we’ll watch them, but we’ll never rewatch them. We watched The Santa Clause on Saturday night, and I watched the other 2 movies yesterday as I made my Christmas whiskey balls and chocolate covered amaretto balls

I like them all.
Not a must to watch. We have a lot of Christmas movies we like and can't get to them all.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I liked the first one, I haven't seen the series though. I like to catch the first movie during the season if it is airing, or I can find it streaming.

 

[snowwite]

Once was enough for me.
My must watch ones are Miracle on 34th Street, Elf, the original cartoon How the Grinch Stole Christmas and at least one version of A Christmas Carol. I hate A Christmas Story but my cousin keeps it on all day on constant play. We also include Die Hard as a Christmas film. I will also watch kids stuff like the Little Drummer Boy, Rudolph and other claymation ones from my childhood. Oh and even though they all have the same plot and are pretty lame I have to spend at least one Saturday in my pajamas binging on Hallmark Christmas movies!

We watch the three movies every year, in order, three nights in a row.

Did not like the TV show at all, like most things on Disney+ it was boring IMO.

We try to watch on Christmas movie every night, of course we have a collection of around 100 Christmas movies so we don't get to them all. (30 of those we may never watch again, horror ones for example)

 

[mumto3girls]

I think I’ve seen the first one and bits and pieces of the other two. I didn’t know there was a series. I would say it’s not important to me.

 

[Kitty 34]

I've only watched the first one.

 

[Wood Nymph]

The first Santa Claus movie was cute, but I don't need to watch it again. I've seen the second one, but it wasn't as good as the first. I don't plan to see any more versions.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I really like the first one, not much the other two. We will watch it this year.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I've seen none of them. Christmas watches for me, the usual, Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation. Already have Vacation once so far this year.

 

[john7994]

Never watched it or any of the series. Must watches would include some of the older Christmas movies - Christmas in Connecticut, Meet me in St Louis, It’s a Wonderful Life, Bishop’s Wife (Original), and others from that period - maybe a few of the others like Christmas Vacation and Christmas Story.

I like the first movie. I would not call it an absolute MUST every season, but we do watch it. I think I may have seen the second movie at some point, not sure, though. I have not seen the third or the series. No desire.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I like the first one! Not a must watch for me but I certainly would watch if I happened to catch it.

 

[lucas]

I've only seen the 1st one. Classic! But, I've got no interest in the others.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I feel like I might have seen bits and pieces of the first one, maybe near the end, but have never seen one complete, nor do I have any desire to see them.

 

[tvguy]

I have seen the first one, but they don't rise to the level of must watch holiday movies in our household. Miracle on 34th Street (the original), White Christmas and Meet Me in St. Louis are the traditional holiday movies in our house.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

The first one is cute, but we don't go out of our way to watch it and it's not on my "must watch" list of holiday content.

 

[ronandannette]

I’ve seen them all and like them, but not on repeat.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I absolutely love them watched them yesterday they were on cable I own them and watch them I didn’t even know they had a series until about a month ago I have not checked it out may or may not don’t really care
There are several Christmas movies that I must watch every year I watched miracle and 34th St. yesterday the original
It’s a wonderful life never miss it that’s an absolute must watch at least once preferably Christmas Eve
Several others but I won’t get into them
I can’t believe the Santa Claus movies are that old unbelievable where did the time go I think the first one was the best but I do enjoy watching the other two

 

[disneydreamer1980]

We’ve been watching the series, it’s just ok. First movie was a classic, others not so much. My favorite Tim Allen Xmas movie is Christmas with the Kranks. Love that movie, it’s so funny
