Other mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Kate is going through old tapes recorded by her dad on a TRV280 handicam. The second tape shows her as a baby in her dad's arms and it's dated Dec 25 2007. She starts a recording on a leftover blank tape and we see the date; Dec 24 2018. Her brother taunts her holding the camera out of her reach and tells her "You're 10 years old. Almost 11!", and she asks "So?" She should have said "You jerk, you don't even know my age?" She is 11 already. (00:01:00 - 00:04:15)
Continuity mistake: Santa is at the Chicago police station, and the cop enters the room placing a can with his effigy. During the scene, the policeman's hands are close together or far apart depending on the shot. (00:52:00)
Continuity mistake: When Kate is hanging on to the sleigh as it takes off she is holding on with one hand. Camera changes and now she is holding on with both.
Other mistake: When Kate and Teddy go outside to see Santa, the time on the camera doesn't change after a minute.
Visible crew/equipment: When the red Dodge driven by Santa is in midair, the skid plate mounted underneath for the stunt is visible.
Suggested correction: Movie time and real time are not the same unless stated such as the show 24.

I dunno, time can be compressed when cutting between things, but a continuous sequence always operates in real time. We might cut out part of a journey, but if someone's onscreen talking for 3 minutes and a clock doesn't change, that's a mistake.
See I've seen mistakes similar get corrected in the past so I'm not entirely sure. Time jumping backwards or forwards (more than it should ie.. jumping forward 10m during a sentence) is obviously a mistake.
