What's the filming location for 'The Santa Clauses'?
According to The Cinemaholic and IMDb, The Santa Clauses used to be filmed in Los Angeles, Calif. We know, that is a lot less thrilling than filming at the North Pole would've been.

Reportedly, predominant pictures for the limited family collection began in March 2022 and completed in June of the same 12 months.
Tim Allen took to Twitter whilst filming the by-product sequence, tweeting, "So cool shooting on my old stage here at Disney ... or as the Toolman says: 'RRR.'"
On June 3, he announced that the collection wrapped filming. "Finished shooting at the pole. The magic begins this fall. Don’t tell anyone I shared this photo looking out Santa’s window," he tweeted.
