He helps to disguise the North Pole as Canada for Bud and Sylvia's arrival. Scott reluctantly agrees with a warning to him if he does anything wrong on his watch. When Jack asks what it is, Father Time tells him that he would know more about it if he attended the meetings more often. When Scott brings up the part with the in-laws during an argument with him, Cupid recommends the 'Escape Clause' which he declines. He manages to convince them to put him into community service at the North Pole. All the other Legendary Figures agree that a punishment needs to be invoked against him with the idea to suspend him. Besides Father Time reminding him that he heralds the season and not a holiday, Mother Nature accuses him of attempting to upstage Santa by freezing a volcano in Hawaii, making it snow in the Amazon, and making it cold in Mexico thus sending the geese back up north for the winter. They show him a cardboard cut-out of Jack Frost that reads 'Merry Frostmas' as he himself ( Martin Short) arrives.

Meanwhile, he is summoned to a meeting of the Council of Legendary Figures consisting of Mother Nature ( Aisha Tyler), Father Time ( Peter Boyle), the Easter Bunny ( Jay Thomas), Cupid ( Kevin Pollak), the Tooth Fairy (Art LaFleur), and the Sandman ( Michael Dorn). Wanting her to feel more comfortable, he invites his in-laws, Bud and Sylvia Newman (Ann-Margret and Alan Arkin), up to the North Pole, along with his ex-wife, Laura ( Wendy Crewson), her husband, Neil ( Judge Reinhold), and their daughter, Lucy ( Liliana Mumy), to keep Mrs. His wife, Carol ( Elizabeth Mitchell), is expecting their first child which is due on Christmas Eve and is afraid that he will be making his deliveries while she is making hers.

Scott Calvin/ Santa Claus ( Tim Allen)В is having difficulties managing Christmas this year.
