After giving Scott his business card, Neal puts his wallet in his pocket twice. See more...
Another place to spot an elf is in the beginning when the children are looking through the toy store window. The next place to see elves is when Tim Allen gets arrested and there is a crowd around the house. If you look carefully, you can see that some of the children are actually elves. See more...

When Scott and Charlie are at the North Pole, you can't see their breath. [Snow doesn't have to mean temperatures below freezing. We have a lot of snow where I live, but you don't always see your breath, even in December. It is not just a matter of cold, but also of humidity.]
When Scott is looking at the huge list of names with "Armand Asante" on it, you can see that the second page is the same as the first. [The elves told him to check it twice that is why the page is the same.]
In the scene where Santa is getting his new equipment for his run, the elf giving him the stuff is named Quentin. This is a reference to the James Bond films - the guy who issues Bond's equipment is named simply Q. [Without any evidence that the filmmaker's deliberately intended this, it could also just be a coincidence.]

When Tim Allen shouts to Santa on his roof and he starts to fall, you can tell by the speed that he's falling that when they cut to the next shot (view looking down from the roof), Santa should be further down on the roof than he actually is. [The shots are showing the exact same moment, just from two views, which is a common filmmaking technique showing a single action from different angles.
]
Near the end of the movie when Neal is hanging up stockings on the mantle, he only hangs one up for Charlie. In the next scene, there are three stockings hanging (one for each family member). [We only SEE him hanging up Charlie's stocking, that doesn't mean he didn't hang up the other two as well.]
Santa's card said to put on the suit and the reindeer will know what to do. Scott did not put on the suit, but the reindeer flew him to another house. He was not yet bound by the Santa Clause, he was not yet Santa Claus, the reindeer should not have flown. [He said "Let's go.", so maybe the reindeer assumed that he meant to fly to another house.]
When Scott shouts at Santa he falls off the roof because of the slippery snow. Minutes later both Scott and his son climb on the roof via a tailor 'presented' ladder and both have absolutely no problem walking on the slippery snow. [Santa was startled and lost his balance when Scot shouted.]
The girl who left out milk the first Christmas and buttermilk the second Christmas for Santa had a tooth missing, pretty prominently in the front. The next year, everything is the same, including the missing tooth. Wouldn't it have grown back? [When my sister lost her front teeth it took her about two years to grow them back. Maybe this little girl took a while to get her teeth back, too.]
When Scott Calvin hears something on the roof and he goes outside, he sees Santa on the roof. He calls to Santa, "hey you", and Santa turns around and slips. As he's sliding down the roof he's coming straight for Scott (and it shows that from Santa's view, he's going to hit him) but in the next shot Santa has landed way to the right of Scott and on a big pile of nice soft snow. [Scott was actually standing way out, away from the house. The angle of the roof at that height happened to be pointing directly at Scott, because that was where he needed to be in order to see on top of the roof. So from the camera view from the sliding Santa, he appears to be heading straight for Scott. But as Santa reaches the edge of the roof, gravity will pull him downwards, instead of making him head into Scott, making him land in the position as shown in the movie.]
When Scott was at Denny's, he wanted to order egg nog, but when he was at the little girl's house, he said he was lactose-intolerant. [He told the little girl that he was lactose intolerant because he didn't want to drink the milk that she left for santa.]
When Scott Calvin is wearing the Santa suit in the early part of the film, the coat has a strip of white fur down the front. However later, as Santa Claus in Dr. Miller's living room, when he gets arrested, the coat has two fur pom-poms down the front. And after he gets released and comes back to the house, there is only one fur pom-pom on the front of the jacket. [He may have changed the coat or had a new one made. It was a year later and they made other changes (sled, hat, fire-proof jump suit, etc...)]
