Anecdotes
In trying to come up with a name for Santa's brother, Jessie Nelson, who came up with the idea for the film after her daughter asked her if Santa has a family, hit upon "Fred" while watching Le parrain (1972) on television. The name "Fred" is an homage to the character Fredo Corleone, the unreliable middle child of the Corleone family played famously in Le parrain (1972) and Le parrain II (1974) by John Cazale

Gaffes
At the Siblings Anonymous meeting, Roger Clinton explains that he got upset watching footage of his famous brother Bill on the History Channel making his 1993 State of the Union Address to Congress. There was no State of the Union address in 1993 as Bill Clinton had just become President and the traditional speech never takes place during an inauguration year.

Citations
Fred Claus: Nick, there's been one thing that's been eating at me since I've been here. That Naughty-Nice List that you got? There's no naughty kids, Nick. They're all good kids. But some of them are scared. And some of them don't feel listened to. Some of them had some pretty tough breaks too. But every kid deserves a present on Christmas.

Générique farfelu
The opening logos are covered in snow and Christmas tree lights.

Autres versions
On the TBS and TNT airing, the credits are in a box with a black screen in the background.

Surprised at some of the other reviews . . .

My partner and I loved this movie. We own a couple hundred Christmas movies and are only able to watch a small subset each year, but I think this will go into our "rotation" as a perennial favorite.

Vince Vaughn is his typical self - caustic but charming. Paul Giamatti is great as a jolly Santa Claus who's got just a little bit too much on his plate this year, what with family and productivity challenges . . .

Kathy Bates and Trevor Peacock make great parents for the Claus siblings, and Kevin Spacey is great is his pivotal role.

The special effects are also excellent: seamless and effective - the North Pole never looked better ;-)

In short, this is a fun and funny Christmas movie. See it!
