There's something incredibly creepy about the thought of Mrs. Claus having a baby. It just seems wrong. Out of other ideas for the series, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause goes there. At least it doesn't show the actual birth, the sight of Mrs. Claus in stirrups would have been too much to bear.

Tim Allen and all the Clause cast are back for a third in his never ending Santa adventures. Tim is once again Scott Calvin, the worst Santa ever. That's the only conclusion possible, since in movie after movie he does something incredibly stupid to jeopardize Christmas.

This time, he's set up to fail by Jack Frost (Martin Short). Jealous that he lacks his own holiday, Jack infiltrates Santa's crew and sets out to sabotage him and take his place. As if that wasn't enough stress for Old St. Nick, his wife is very pregnant and his in-laws are coming for a visit. What a mess.
