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:
“The fact that women in the home have shut themselves away from the thought and life of the world has done much to retard progress. We fill the world with the children of 20th century A.D. fathers and 20th century B.C. mothers.”
—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
