This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. It displays all the qualities of the Christmas season; love, friendship, Magic, hope, belief, and joy. It's not too long or preachy. And the soundtrack of Mark McKenzie is utterly, utterly amazing! It's the music I could listen to all day. Watch it for the soundtrack alone if not the magic. And then go listen to the soundtrack again and again.
The best moments I think come from Blizzard and the magical setup of the North Pole. While the Santa Clause movie franchise does the North Pole best, I can't help but compare this version. Christopher Plummer makes an amazing Santa and the closeups of the reindeer are perfect. I have my differences with Whoopi Goldberg but she adds an extra spark to Blizzard.
