Charlie has no plans to don Santa’s suit and be the next Father Christmas. Does this mean a new Santa will be introduced in The Santa Clauses Episode 3? Will it be Simon Choksi (Kal Penn)?
Scott’s Decision to Retire
Scott decided to retire after 28 years as Santa Clause. As he thought of his next successor, he approached his son, Charlie, as his first choice. The man declined, citing that he needed to raise his own family and believed the North Pole wasn’t the best place to do so. Though Scott respects Charlie’s decision, is it possible for the latter to change his mind?

However, he saw how his father’s other persona affected him in the second movie, The Santa Clause 2. Charlie believes in the importance of Santa Clause, but he knows how big of a responsibility it is. His family is his priority, so moving to the North Pole and leaving their lives in Florida is not part of an option for him.
