    • Goofs
      The Ice Cream Bunny has nothing to do with ice cream.
    • Quotes

      Santa Claus: I think I'd better put my coat on, very quickly. Can't let anybody see Santa Claus without his coat. Just put this belt on, quickly as you can, and, uh, see what's going on.

    • Crazy credits
      Two sets of opening credits and end tags are used in the movie (one for the Santa portion and one for the fairytale portion).
    • Alternate versions
      The VHS release from United Home Video, and the "Rifftrax" edition DVD from Legend Films, feature Thumbelina (1970). When the "Rifftrax Live!" version was shown in theaters on December 3, 2015, it featured Jack and the Beanstalk (1970).

      Edited from Thumbelina (1970)

    Santa Clause on the Beach?
    Bad doesn't begin to explain this movie, And I use this term movie loosely.

    My dad took my brother and I to see it at the theater when it opened in Houston, Texas in 1972. Apparently my Dad, brother and I are the last living humans that actually saw it, because there are no comments or voting as of this posting.

    It's actually a really bad movie within another really bad movie. Come on, Santa Clause on the beach? It's a running joke in my family over the past 20 years that when we see a bad movie we always say 'yeah, but it's no Santa Clause and the Ice Cream Bunny' No joke. Of course having said this, I an currently trying to purchase this sorry excuse for entertainment. Go figure.
