Bud and Sylvia Newman

Bud and Sylvia Newman are characters first seen in The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. They are the parents of Carol Newman-Calvin/Mrs. Claus.

Role in the film
Bud and Sylvia are invited to the North Pole, after their daughter Carol expresses that she misses her family since she became Mrs. Claus. Their son-in-law, Scott arrives in Chicago with Sandman (under the nickname of "Sandy"), to take them to the North Pole. After they begin arguing, Sandman uses his magic to put them to sleep, and make the trip back easier.

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 their daughter and son-in-law's true identities, and simply believe Scott to be a toy-maker.
