This film has been released on VHS in 1995 and again in the UK in 1996, standard Widescreen DVD in 2000 and Special Edition VHS and DVD in 2002. The Santa Clause along with The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause were released in a three-movie DVD collection in 2007. All three movies are scheduled for re-release on Blu-ray October 16, 2012.
Towards the beginning of the film a brief exchange between Scott and Laura takes place in which Laura hands Scott a piece of paper with Neal's mother's phone number on it. Scott then exclaims "1-800-SPANK-ME? I think I know that number!". In the United States, the exchange was removed from the 2000 DVD release as well as the 2002 Special Edition DVD and VHS releases after a 1997 incident in which a child from Steilacom, Washington called the number and racked up a $400 phone bill. On television airings, the phone number is changed to "1-800-POUND". The line remains intact on the 1995 VHS release.

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or media:
“Of course we will continue to work for cheaper electricity in the homes and on the farms of America; for better and cheaper transportation; for low interest rates; for sounder home financing; for better banking; for the regulation of security issues; for reciprocal trade among nations and for the wiping out of slums. And my friends, for all of these we have only begun to fight.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
