Continuity mistake: In the Denny's restaurant scene, Charlie's left hand is either on the table or off, depending on the scene cut.

Continuity mistake: While trying to find a restaurant on Christmas Eve, Scott and Charlie are discussing Neil. Scott's head is pointing straight ahead, but when Scott says, "Where did you hear that?" he turns his head, which is pointing to the left (the driver-side window), to his right.

Continuity mistake: In the Miller's house, Scott is explaining to Charlie he should stay with his mum and Neil as Scott's right hand alternates from being on Charlie's left shoulder to off as the scene cuts.

Continuity mistake: During the jail break scene after the elves have used tinsel to slice off the jail door hinges, the lead elf is holding the tinsel with both hands, but when he says that tinsel is not just for decoration, he is holding it with one hand, then back to two hands when the scene cuts.

Continuity mistake: While Charlie tells Scott he knows CPR, Scott's right hand drops to his side, but when Charlie tells Scott the "SC" on his pyjamas is the same letters as his name, Scott's right hand is now resting on his right breast.

Continuity mistake: After Charlie gives the snow globe to Scott, the view of the back of Scott's head shows his hair and scarf, but the front view of Scott shows his winter cap all the way down to his scarf, which would cover his hair seen from the rear.

Continuity mistake: The articulating magnifying glass Bernard uses to read the "Santa Clause" off the card to Scott, the magnifying glass changes height between quick scene shots.

Continuity mistake: In the scene of Bernard telling Scott he is the new Santa by reading the card with the articulated magnifying glass, in one shot Scott and Bernard are in front of it, then suddenly it is between them.

Audio problem: Outside the Miller's house the detective who was interrogating Scott is now shouting at the house with a bullhorn. When the detective lowers the bullhorn, his voice sounds like it is still being amplified.

Continuity mistake: While Bernard is explaining the "Santa Clause" to Scott Calvin, an elf dressed as a pirate behind Bernard exits the scene twice.

Scott215

Continuity mistake: When Charlie is hugging his Mom goodbye on Christmas Eve, his hands go from being wrapped around her back, clasped around her neck, then to her back again.

Scott215

Other mistake: When Santa falls off Scott Calvin's roof, he slides in a straight trajectory that lines up just off center of the front door, meaning Santa should have fallen smack down on the snowless concrete walkway, not a few feet over onto the snow-covered lawn.

Scott215

Continuity mistake: Before and after Scott enters and exits the chimney pipe, the background shows the roof of the house with very little snow and the roof shingles exposed. The overhead shot showing Scott and Charlie leaving in the sleigh shows the same roof covered in snow.
