Whilst the film was recorded in Canada by most of the cast, there were a few exceptions that were recorded in the United States. Examples include John Goodman as Santa and Whoopi Goldberg as Stormella.
Canadian actor Scott McNeil originally recorded voices for Slyly and Leonard, before being replaced by Eric Idle and Bob Newhart in the US respectively prior to the film's release.
Slyly and Ridley were redesigned only months before the movie's release. Ridley was going to have a striped blue and white Butler suit and Slyly was originally going to be red before (the latter was changed to white likely to reflect the movie's North Pole setting).
The first and only theatrical film released by GoodTimes Entertainment, known more for their direct to DVD animated features.
