Goofs
When Mrs. Claus opens the door for Abbie, from the back her hair is a markedly different color and texture to how it is from the front (and in all subsequent shots). The back shot was obviously filmed with a stand-in wearing a wig.

Quotes
Abbie Grainger: My brother's never going to believe this.

One of the greats

"One Magic Christmas" is one of my all-time favorite movies. Not just favorite Christmas movies but favorite movies. I remember seeing this movie for the first time in the theater (MovieWorld, Douglaston, NY). I almost needed help walking out of the theater because I was emotionally draining by the end of the movie. Every time I finish watching this movie I'm a mess. "One Magic Christmas" touches me in a way few movies ever have. "One Magic Christmas" is in my Top 20 All-Time movies list. It's a classic.
