Leslie Neilson is wonderful as usual and Max Morrow is very charismatic and great chemistry between the two. A very enjoyable movie. Lots of laughs for the whole family.
Starting off I will say Leslie Nielson seemed a better fit as Santa in all I want for Christmas, though having said that his performance her is still warming and nice. And although a little cheesy in places its a nice watch. So one day while flying in his sleigh Santa suddenly falls out because elf and safety was on a break. He gets amnesia and forgets his Santa and it's down to a little boy and family to get him back on track. Of course theres always an evil person and the elves are silly but all in good fun. I just think this was overall a nice Christmas movie to watch that had a good cast and fun moments.
Fairly good Christmas yarn in which S.C. has an accident which robs the old boy of his memory. He is aided in his recovery by a cynical newsman, a starry eyed little boy, and a cadre of dedicated elves intent on not seeing Christmas go down the tubes. Kids would probably go for this more than I did.
Leslie Nielsen was the best part of the movie! He was perfect as Santa, better than in "All I want for Christmas," albeit that was more a cameo role. He played an amnesiac Santa with just the right amount of confusion and sympathy. The part where he (re)learned the Christmas Carols was one of the most original parts. Overall a very enjoyable holiday movie.
I love the TV-movie "Santa Who?" It is such a classic. One reason is Leslie Nielsen, who plays the one-and-only Santa Claus.
Peter Albright (Steven Eckholdt) is another highlight.
Everything is to love about this film. That is why I enjoy it.

- TriviaThis film marks the second of three times where Leslie Nielsen played Santa Claus. The other two were in the film "All I Want for Christmas" (1991) and an episode of the animated TV series "Chilly Beach" (2003).
- GoofsWhen the police call the news reporter to tell them about the people who have been missing their grandfather for ten years, in the reporters close up when he starts to wonder if he is with the real Santa Claus, a Canada Post truck can be seen in the background, which should not be there, since the movie's set in the United States. However, this does make sense at the same time, because the movie was filmed in Toronto, Canada.
