It wouldn’t be Christmas without the classic Christmas movies.

We’ve had a whole range of movies that have become household staples this time of year…

Some of the classics include Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Grinch, and Miracle on 34th Street.

The list is endless…

And one of the most popular movies has recently left people baffled by the title.

A whopping twenty-eight years after it first came out.

The Santa Clause starring Tim Allen was a huge hit when it first came out in 1994, and it’s turned into a real Christmas classic.

But there’s one thing fans didn’t realize about the title…

  via Getty Images  

And people were not happy about the revelation.

There’s a reason Santa Clause is spelled with an ‘e’ in the movie…

  via Getty Images  

It comes down to the fact Allen’s character, Scott Calvin, has to accept the legal clause of the agreement to become the next Santa.

Santa Claus is actually meant to be spelled without the ‘e.’

“Still trying to accept the fact that I’ve been unironically spelling it Santa ‘Clause’ like the 1994 movie starring Tim Allen. not realizing it was a play on words for like my whole entire life. Merry Christmas,” one baffled Twitter user wrote.

While another added: “When I was a kid I had no idea why they called it ‘The Santa Clause.’ I had no idea what a ‘clause’ was, I just thought they deliberately spelled ‘Claus’ wrong for some reason.”

“PSA: The Santa Clause has brought a lot of joy to folks since 1994, but it has also raised a generation of adults who don’t know how to spell Santa’s name properly. The proper spelling is Santa C-L-A-U-S,” a third wrote.
