Some people are born great, others have the great task of performing the duties of Santa Claus thrust upon them when they cause Saint Nick to fall off a roof. Tim Allen became one of the faces of Christmas with 1994's The Santa Clause, and now he is channeling his inner Scott Calvin to make sure everyone is good stays on the nice list. As the holiday season falls upon us, Allen took to Twitter to share a festive post.

For some, it is the Grinch sneaking around to ruin - then restore - Christmas. A house full of pranks to ward off robbers. The Code of the Elves. For others, it's Bruce Willis saving hostages atop a skyscraper. And, of course, for others it's Tim Allen in The Santa Clause, though he himself was surprised by his own casting, given the level of dirty jokes he makes about the job; he once said Santa eats so many cookies "cause it takes the edge off the jack and coke." THE SANTA CLAUSE 2, Tim Allen, 2002. © Buena Vista / courtesy Everett Collection Even so, he has been the star of the series through all three films, and each is available on Disney+.
