In *The Santa Clause 3:

The Escape Clause*, Scott Calvin, also known as Santa Claus, faces a series of challenges as Christmas approaches.

Now married to Carol, who is pregnant with their first child, Scott is under immense pressure to keep the North Pole running smoothly while also managing family dynamics. He invites Carol’s parents to visit, disguising the North Pole as Canada to maintain the Santa secret, which adds to his stress.

The main antagonist, Jack Frost, seeks to take over Christmas by sabotaging Santa’s operations. He learns about the “Escape Clause,” which allows Scott to wish he had never become Santa. Jack tricks Scott into invoking this clause, sending them both back to 1994, before Scott became Santa. In this alternate timeline, Scott is a successful businessman who has neglected his family, leading to a strained relationship with his ex-wife Laura and their son Charlie.

As Jack Frost assumes the role of Santa in this new reality, he transforms the North Pole into a commercialized theme park, abandoning the true spirit of Christmas. Meanwhile, Scott realizes the importance of family and must find a way to reclaim his identity as Santa. With the help of his daughter Lucy and some clever maneuvering, Scott manages to reverse Frost’s spell and restore order at the North Pole.

Ultimately, Scott reconciles with his family and embraces his role as Santa once more. The film concludes with Carol going into labor, culminating in the arrival of their son, Buddy Claus.
