    • Trivia
      The film crew was mostly Australian, much to the delight of fellow Aussie Olivia Newton-John. Both Vegemite (a popular Australian spread), as well as newspapers from the country, were frequently available on the set.
    • Quotes
      • Jessica Slocum: [in front of audience in school play] Wait a minute; have a heart. Santa doesn't... Santa doesn't...
      • Nicholas: [whispering to Jessica on stage] ... doesn't know where to start.
      • Jessica Slocum: [continues] Santa doesn't know where to start. Solving problems is not his line. It's everyone's - it's yours, it's mine. So if it's the world you want to save, you have to be a lot more brave. So don't put it all on Santa, or some little elf. This is something you do yourself!
