Scott Calvin, the main character in the series, is nearing his 65th birthday when he realizes that he cannot be Santa forever. He is losing a step in his Santa duties. But, more importantly, he has a family that could benefit from a normal life, particularly his two children who grew up at the Pole. Scott has a lot to do with his family, including children and elves. He sets out to find the right Santa to replace him while also preparing his family to embark on a new adventure south of the pole.

Allen will be playing the role of Calvin/Santa for the fourth time. In 1994, he starred in "The Santa Clause", which was followed by two sequels (2002 and 2006).
