Christmas Movies--Behind The Scenes
In The Santa Clause 2, Tim Allen
had to stay in character while
around the child actors because
some of them actually believed he
was Santa.
In A Christmas Story, Flick’s tongue
was actually suctioned by a hidden
vacuum to give off the illusion that
it was frozen to the pole.
In How The Grinch Stole Christmas,
Jim Carrey’s Grinch suit was
actually made of yak hair.
In Home Alone, the prop department
originally created a fake tarantula
to put on Daniel Stern’s
face, but the director made them
use a real one (and its name was
Barry!).
In It’s a Wonderful Life, writer-director
Frank Capra helped create
a new type of artificial snow because
the current movie method
(using cornflakes that were painted
white) was too noisy when the
actors had to walk in scenes.
In Die Hard, Bruce Willis’ character

In How the Grinch Stole Christmas,
both Eddie Murphy and Jack
Nicholson were originally considered
for the role of the Grinch.
In National Lampoon’s Christmas

Vacation.

meant they only got one morning
to film everything.
In Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,
Donald Trump would only give the
production team a permit to film in
the Plaza Hotel (which he owned
at the time) if they wrote him into
the movie.
In How The Grinch Stole Christmas,
Jim Carrey had to complete torture-endurance
training from the
CIA to help him get through the
daily 8.5 hours of Grinch makeup.
In It’s a Wonderful Life, the whole
holiday picture was actually shot in
the summer of 1946, and it occasionally
got so hot that production
literally had to be shut down for a
few days.
And in The Santa Clause, Disney
had a strict policy against hiring
ex-cons, but Tim Allen, who was arrested
in 1978 for the possession
of nearly 1.5 pounds of cocaine,
was given an exception.
