Carol Newman-Calvin, later Mrs. Claus, is the deuteragonist of The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.
Appearances
The Santa Clause 2
Carol started as a young and attractive, but serious, hardworking, and intimidating school principal. She was first seen when she caught Scott Calvin's son, Charlie defacing the walls of the gymnasium from the skylight. Initially she was going to suspend Charlie but was swayed by his father suggested that he do community service as punishment for his actions.
After a few failed dates with other women trying to fulfill "the Mrs. Clause", Scott goes to see Carol, driving Laura's minivan, and asks her out. She has to go to the school faculty party, but says they can go together to that. Scott uses his magic to replace the minivan with a horse-drawn sleigh to drive her there. She enjoys her ride with Scott, and using a little of his Christmas magic, he livens the party up by presenting everyone with their childhood dream gifts (much like he did for Laura and Neil in the first film).
He makes a special presentation to Carol, and, with his last remnant of magic, wins her over and they kiss passionately.
However, when Scott explains his reason for dating her as Santa Claus, Carol balks, believing that he is mocking her childhood (where she was teased for believing in Santa) until Charlie manages to convince her by showing her his magic snow globe.
Later on, Toy Santa wastes no time in tying him up with Curtis, but Charlie and a now-believing Carol spring him free by summoning the Tooth Fairy to fly them there after Lucy loses a tooth.
He goes after Toy Santa, who has already left with the sleigh, riding Chet, a reindeer-in-training, and they both battle over the reindeer. With an army of elves, Carol, Bernard, Charlie, and Curtis lead a snowball war to overthrow the toy soldiers.
During the battle, Toy Santa and Scott accidentally cause the sleigh to crash back into the village (as well as crashing on the rest of the toy soldiers). Toy Santa is forcibly restrained by the elves and is reduced to his normal six-inch height.
Scott marries Carol in a ceremony presided over by Mother Nature herself.
He transforms back into Santa, and Christmas proceeds as it always has and he and Carol have a three-month honeymoon to go on the next day.
In addition, Charlie reveals the truth to Lucy that he is the real Santa Claus.
In the closing credits, Carol has transformed into Mrs. Claus and the puppets are dancing to the music.
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
Carol is now pregnant with her and Scott's child. Carol has adapted to being Mrs. Claus and is happy with their unique life.
While content with Scott, she expresses sadness that she misses her parents who she has not seen since she became Mrs. Claus. As a result, Scott goes to Chicago with the Sandman (under the nickname of "Sandy") to take them to the North Pole.
Due to the "Secret of Santa", Bud and Sylvia are under the impression that they have arrived in Canada, rather than the North Pole. They are unaware of Scott and Carol's true identities, and simply believe Scott to be a toymaker. Carol plays along.
After arriving, Bud and Sylvia meet Jack Frost, whom they are told is an actor portraying him in their winter show. The pair eventually learned that they were wrong about Santa Claus not existing when it turns out their son-in-law Scott is Santa and they are amazed by this news. They also become grandparents when Carol gives birth to her son Buddy Calvin-Claus.
In the alternate reality in which Scott never becomes Santa Claus, Carol is not seen, but Laura implies that Carol remained a coldhearted principal, and eventually moved away to "go terrorize a new group of kids".
The Santa Clauses
While still living at the North Pole, Carol began to question herself due to the fact that people only know Mrs. Claus as the wife of Santa Claus and nothing else besides knitting and baking and that she doesn't know who the last Mrs. Claus was before her or if she was the first. She even began to forget her first name.
