==Background==
===Early life===
Charlie Calvin was born to Laura Miller and Scott Calvin. When Charlie was young his parents got divorced.
By the time he is 6 years old, Charlie doesn't enjoy spending time with Scott. Scott is a workaholic and often blows Charlie off for his career, and he gets along better with his stepfather Neil, Laura's second husband. He's not happy to be spending Christmas Eve with Scott, and the night was not going well. Scott burned the turkey, then every restaurant in town was closed except Denny's, and then even at Denny's a lot of things were unavailable. Scott read A Night Before Christmas to Scott and put him to bed. That's when Charlie's relationship with Scott turned forever. Scott becomes Santa Claus after the previous Santa falls off Scott's roof. When they finish the job of Santa for that Christmas, they go to the North Pole, and then awaken the next morning back at Scott's house. From then on, Charlie loves the fact that Scott is now Santa Claus, and gains a new, year-round enthusiasm for Christmas, and tells everyone he knows about Scott becoming Santa. Laura and Neil get Scott's joint custody revoked and Charlie is heartbroken. Charlie works with the elves to get Scott out of jail, and the next Christmas, Charlie again accompanies his father to deliver the presents all over the world.
8 years later, Charlie is now a teenager. He grows up with Laura and Neil and his new younger half-sister Lucy, and still loves that Scott is Santa Claus, but he hates having to keep it a secret. He starts acting out in school, drawing the ire of Carol Newman, the strict principal of his school. Laura, Neil and Scott go to her office for a meeting to talk about Charlie. Scott becomes the first person to really push back to her, but makes Charlie promise to stop vandalizing school property. Charlie continues to act out, however, and Scott and Charlie help her clean the school. Eventually, Scott, who is looking for a wife to fulfill the "Mrs. Clause", starts dating Carol and they fall in love. Charlie gets mad when he realizes this, and finally confides how much he hates keeping Scott's truth a secret. But when Carol breaks up with Scott after he tells her that he's Santa, he goes to bat for his father, telling her she'd be making a huge mistake if the only reason she doesn't want to be with him was that she didn't believe him. This saves the romance and she marries Scott in time. It is shown that Charlie still goes with Scott to deliver the presents, as he did when he was little. 
Charlie isn't seen as much in The Santa Clause 3, but he is excited about his new half-brother, and he maintains his tradition of delivering presents every Christmas with Scott. 
As an adult, Charlie has moved to Florida, has a wife named Marie and two children. He declines an offer to succeed Scott as Santa Claus.
==Trivia==
*His favorite reindeer is Comet.
*After Scott ended up having two more kids in the timespan of the gap between the third movie and The Santa Clauses, it is revealed that Charlie has three half-siblings.
*The reason that Charlie didn’t want to be the next Santa Claus it’s because he doesn’t think the North Pole is the best place to raise children.
