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:
“And those handmade presents that children often bring home from school: They have so much value! The value is that the child put whatever he or she could into making them. The way we parents respond to the giving of such gifts is very important. To the child the gift is really self, and they want so much for their selves to be acceptable, to be loved.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
