The Santa Clauses cast also features the return of Eric Lloyd as Charlie Calvin, Scott's son. Charlie played pivotal roles in the first three movies, as he helped his dad become Santa Claus, rebelled against him in the sequel, and helped defeat Martin Short's Jack Frost in the threequel.
Tim Allen and Elizabeth Mitchell were announced to be reprising their roles as Scott Calvin / Santa Claus and Carol Calvin / Mrs. Claus, respectively. In addition, Kal Penn joined the cast as a character named Simon Choski.
Charlie isn't in The Santa Clauses Season 2 for two simple reasons: Eric Lloyd has essentially retired from acting, and Charlie has no place in the story anymore.
To make matters better, the same lead cast members like Tim Allen as Santa Clause, David Krumholtz as Bernard, and Eric Lloyd as Charlie all reprised their roles, as well as others.
Bernard does not appear in this film, due to his actor, David Krumholtz being in the TV series Numb3rs, and electing not to work out a schedule between both projects, due to his character's reduced significance. His absence goes unmentioned and Curtis is head-elf in his place.
Is it the same actor playing Charlie in The Santa Clauses?

Laura Miller is a major character and minor antagonist from the first The Santa Clause film, and later a minor character and redeemed protagonist in the remaining trilogy. She is Neil's wife and Charlie and Lucy's mother, and Scott Calvin's ex-wife.
Lucy Miller is a character in The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. She is Neil and Laura's daughter, Scott and Carol's honorary niece, and Charlie's maternal half-sister.
In season 1, she was Santa's Head Elf before she was fired by Simon Choksi the new Santa Claus. Then she got her job back. In season 2, she takes a vacation leave for educational purposes to explore the real world leaving Noel to take her place.
What happened to the boy who played Charlie in Santa Clause?
Eric Lloyd (Charlie)
Lloyd's previous claim to fame was playing the young version of Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) on The Wonder Years, but, after Clause, Lloyd would continue working as an actor on projects like Batman & Robin (1997) and the NBC show Jesse.
It is revealed that sometime between after the third film and the series, he went on his Kribble Krabble (mandatory Earth vacation for elves), and never came back, implying that he chose to live out the rest of his life as a human, much like Bernard.
In season 2 of the family comedy, Tracy Morgan is joining in on the festivities as everyone's favorite holiday spirit… who's not Good Old Saint Nick. That's right, he's the Easter Bunny, and we've got an exclusive first look (below).
Fans were outraged that Disney changed Buddy's name to Cal, but luckily it is just a nickname for The Santa Clauses character. Following the insane success of Disney+'s Hocus Pocus 2, the house of mouse is going on a walk down memory lane, all the way to the North Pole with their new series, The Santa Clauses.
Matilda Lawler will return in a recurring guest role capacity, moving down from series regular in season one. She is reprising her role of Betty, Santa's demanding Chief of Staff and job-oriented Elf.
Krumholtz explains why Bernard was absent from The Santa Clause 3, citing scheduling conflicts and a devaluing of the character as reasons for his decision.
The Santa Clause franchise brings back Eric Lloyd as Scott's son Charlie (aka Sport) in Episode 2 of the Disney+ sequel series — a return that ultimately proves short-lived. But Charlie's cameo is not-at-all insignificant.
Background. At some point, Marie met and fell in love with Charlie Calvin. The two eventually got married and had two sons together. She also met her father-in-law, Scott Calvin and formed a good relationship with him, but was unaware that he was Santa Claus, as she was under the impression that he lived in Greenland.
How Old Is Charlie In The Santa Clauses? Charlie begins The Santa Clause at about eight years old when his dad stumbles upon the confusing rules of the Santa clause, mirroring Lloyd's age in the same way that Carol mirrors Mithcell's.
In the fifth episode of The Santa Clauses, streaming now, Bernard the (former) Head Elf (played by David Krumholtz) shows up to teach Scott the true meaning of Christmas by taking a trip through the Yule-verse. (Think Marvel's multiverse, but with way more Santa Clauses.)
Judy is a supporting character in The Santa Clause. She is a 1,200 year old elf who resides in the North Pole who appears to be one of Santa's attendants. After Scott Calvin visits the North Pole for the first time, he is greeted by the young elf, who passes on an important quote.
