Ernest was a taxi driver. He was first seen taking a passenger to the airport while singing "O Christmas Tree" over and over again. The passenger got annoyed and asked Ernest to hurry up so that he could make it to the airport.

1. He fell out of the taxi.
   He told Ernest he would walk to the airport.
2. He decided to get a different taxi.
   He went home because his flight was cancelled.

After the passenger asked Ernest to speed up a bit, Ernest decided to follow his orders but swerved through traffic as well. Ernest's driving caused the passenger to fall out of the taxi and he picked him up and tried to get him back inside.

1. He got in trouble for stealing the boxes.
   He was fired.
2. One of the boxes fell on him.
   He pulled a muscle.

The man that was unloading the boxes from the plane at the airport was working alone because one of the other employees was on his break. The man was trying to get the box off of the plane and it landed on top of him!

1. A pile of wood.
   Furniture.
2. A package.
   A Christmas tree.

After picking up Santa Claus at the airport, Ernest was driving down the highway. The taxi was behind a truck carrying Christmas trees and one fell off the back. Ernest started backing up on the highway, causing accidents all around him.

   She forgot her purse.
2. She didn't have a parent with her.
   She was running away from home.

The waiter was chasing the girl in the street because she failed to pay for her meal after she finished. She gave the waiter a long excuse about her brother leaving her to foot the bill all the time and distracted the waiter long enough for her to run off.

1. He called the cops.
   He asked Santa to upgrade his gift this year.
2. He told Santa he would have to make up for it by helping him out.
   He let Santa ride for free.

When Santa told Ernest that all he had with him was play money, Ernest thought for a moment and then decided that he would let Santa ride for free. They shook hands and Santa went inside, feeling relieved.

1. To give him his Christmas gift early.
   To make a public appearance with him.
2. To celebrate Christmas at his house.
   To tell him that he was the new Santa Claus.

Santa went to visit Joe Carruthers to let him know that he was chosen to be the new Santa Claus. Before Santa could tell Joe the news, he was interrupted by Joe's colleague who informed him of a new once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

1. He was fired.
   He couldn't afford his rent.
2. He ran out of gas.
   He won money from a radio station.

After Ernest let Santa ride for free, his boss found out and was extremely angry. He was so angry that he fired Ernest and he told him that good Samaritans don't make money.

1. His glasses.
   His money.
2. His Santa suit.
   His bag.

Santa forgot his bag in Ernest's taxi. Ernest's boss threw the bag out to Ernest after he fired him. Meanwhile, Santa realized that his bag was missing and went to find Ernest.

1. His agent.
   His wife.
2. His lawyer.
   His child.

Joe left his agent to speak with Santa about what he wanted to tell Joe because he had to run out to an appointment. Joe's agent was less than enthusiastic to talk to Santa, but he did it as a favor to Joe.

   A window.
2. The Christmas tree.
   A statue.

Ernest brought a Christmas tree to Vern's house. When Vern saw him, he closed the door in his face. Ernest let himself and Harmony inside where he tried to set up the tree for Vern. The tree fell on top of Ernest after he tried to set it up!

1. He called the police.
   He called Mrs. Claus.
2. He asked Ernest to pick him up.
   He asked Santa to leave.

Marty called the police to escort Santa out of the building. Marty believed that he was posing as Santa. As the police were putting Santa in the police car, he told them that he really needed to talk to Joe. The police ignored him and drove him away.

1. They didn't show up on the page.
   They had snowflakes on them.
2. They were all identical.
   They weren't his finger prints.

Santa's fingerprints had snowflakes on them. After he arrived at the police station, the police officers took Santa's fingerprints. They were amazed to see that the prints ended up being very odd, with different snowflakes in the middle.

1. Presents.
   Milk and Cookies.
2. Elves.
   Reindeer.

There were reindeer inside the boxes that were on the plane. The employees who unloaded the boxes had a few ideas about what the reindeer really were (such as aliens), and one of the reindeer even flew up to the ceiling.

1. How he makes it around the world in one night.
   How he remembers what each child wants.
2. How he got into his house when he was a child.
   How he can live for so long.

Ernest told Harmony that he was going to ask Santa how he managed to get into his house when he was younger. Ernest said that his house didn't have a chimney, so he suspected that Santa came in through the forced air heating system.

1. The Governor's employee.
   An officer.
2. Mrs. Claus.
   The head elf.

Ernest posed as the Governor's employee and brought Harmony to pose as the governor's niece, and they tried to get Santa out of jail. They had the opportunity to get him out when they entered his jail cell and successfully made their move!

1. The magic of Christmas would be gone.
   He wouldn't be able to go out on his sleigh.
2. He would go back to jail.
   He wouldn't have a place to live.

Santa told Ernest and Harmony (who he revealed to have the real name of Pamela) that if he didn't find Joe, the magic of Christmas would be gone. He told them that he had to talk to him before 7:00pm that night.

1. New talent.
   Santa.
2. Marty's mother.

1. Snakes.
   Cameras.
2. Costumes.
   Actors.

Ernest knew that Joe was working on the set of a horror movie, so he told security that he had snakes to deliver in the back of his truck. It was really Santa under a tarp with some hoses and a rattle to make the story believable!

   Brought him a gift.
2. Took him to the North Pole.
   Made him the head elf.

Santa hit the director of the movie after he told him that the movie was called "Christmas Slay," which was a movie about terrorizing children on Christmas break. Santa was appalled and hit the director in protest of his movie.

1. His bag.
   Money.
2. A ticket to the North Pole.
   A list of children.

Santa had to deliver his bag to Joe. He planned to do this so that Joe would be able leave with enough time to get the presents to all of the children before the next morning. He even brought the reindeer for the new Santa Claus.

1. Building blocks.
   Tennis balls.
2. Snow.
   Feathers.

Harmony filled the fake bag with feathers. This didn't help Santa's case when he brought the bag to Joe. Harmony hid the other bag. After Ernest and Santa left, she took it with her.

1. She went to the train station.
   She went back to her house.
2. She went to the Children's Hospital.
   She went to Joe's house.

Harmony went to the train station after she ran away from Ernest's house. When she got to the station, she asked how far all of her money could get her. The man gave her a ticket to Miami.

1. Santa.
   Joe.
2. The elves.
   Harmony.

Santa's elves arrived at the airport and helped Ernest get the reindeer. They loaded them into a truck. Everything was going well until Ernest accidentally ran over some spikes by a gate!

1. The representative became angry with him.
   He was fired.
2. His concerns were heard.

1. Called a tow truck.
   Rode in the sleigh.
2. Called Harmony to help them.
   Replaced the tires on the truck.

After Ernest ruined the tires on the truck, he and the elves hitched up the reindeer to the sleigh. Although Ernest couldn't remember the names of all of the reindeer, with a little help from the elves they were soon up in the air.

1. A plane.
   Santa's sleigh.
2. A shooting star.
   Many children.

Joe saw Santa's sleigh outside of the office window. He interrupted the signing of his contract to look out the window at the sleigh. It made him believe what Santa had been trying to tell him.

1. She gave the girl the bag.
   She said that Santa didn't want it anymore.
2. She threw the bag in the garbage.
   She brought it back to him.

After a little girl asked Harmony why she had Santa's magic bag, she was overcome with guilt and she knew that she had to return it. She went running to find Santa.

1. With a handshake.
   By giving him the bag.
2. Taking him for a ride in the sleigh.
   By helping him grow his beard back.

Santa passed off the responsibility of being Santa Claus to Joe by a handshake. Joe transformed into Santa and gained a long white beard. Harmony gave him the bag and he was ready to go!

1. He delivered all the gifts in record time.
   He brought Harmony back home.
2. He fixed Vern's tree.
   He made it snow.

The previous Santa told Joe that he had met someone at the airport who wanted snow for Christmas. Joe made it his first act as Santa Claus to make it snow in the hot temperatures of Orlando, Florida!

1. Blitzen doesn't like carrots.
   Blitzen can't fly well.
2. Blitzen took the year off.
   Blitzen's name.

Ernest always forgot Blitzen's name. Throughout the movie, Ernest always struggled with the last reindeer's name when calling out the names of all the reindeer. Somebody always had to help him out with Blitzen's name!

1. She planned to go back home.
   She ran off on her own again.
2. She stayed at Ernest's house.
   She went to live at the North Pole.

Harmony planned to go back home to her parents at the end of the movie. She told Santa that she had called her mother and that she was worried about her. She also told Ernest that it would probably be the last time that they would ever see each other.

1. Mrs. Claus.
   Mary.
2. The elves.
   Marty.

After Joe, Ernest, and Harmony left, Mary asked Santa what he was doing that night. He said that he wasn't going to be doing anything. He also revealed that his name before Santa Claus used to be Seth Applegate.

1. The tooth fairy.
   Jack Frost.
2. Frosty.
   The Easter Bunny.

They found the Easter Bunny in one of the boxes. The two employees were arguing over whether a paper said "E. Bunny" or "F. Bunny." It turned out to be the Easter Bunny when they saw two ears pop out from the box!

1. Vern.
   Santa.
2. Joe.
   Ernest.

Vern's face is never seen throughout the whole film. The camera shows Vern's view instead. The viewer is able to see Vern's point of view of Ernest wrecking his house and setting up the Christmas tree.
