The world premiere was held on November 16, 1996 at the Mall of America in Bloomington where parts of the film were shot. A day of events was held to celebrate the film's release and Arnold Schwarzenegger donated memorabilia from the film to the Mall's Planet Hollywood.
Producer Chris Columbus wanted Joe Pesci to play Myron, but he was deemed too short, at 5 ft. 3 in., next to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is 6 ft. 2 in. Schwarznegger had previously appeared in two films alongside Danny DeVito, who is even shorter.
Sinbad improvised the majority of his lines. Arnold Schwarzenegger also improvised many of his responses in his conversations with him.
The story is based on the 1980s shopping frenzy over the Cabbage Patch dolls. However, it ended up perfectly mimicking the Tickle Me Elmo craze of Christmas 1996.
Arnold Schwarzenegger enjoyed the film. He'd experienced last-minute Christmas shopping himself, and was attracted to playing an "ordinary" character in a family film.
"Howard: Put that cookie down. NOW!"
"Myron Larabee: They sit there and use subliminal messages to suck your children's minds out! And I know what I'm talking about because I went to junior college for a semester and I studied psychology so I'm right in there, I know what's going on. And then they sit there and they make your children feel like garbage and you, the father, who's working 24/7 delivering mail so you can make an alimony payment to a woman that slept with everybody at the post office, but me! And then when you get the toy, it breaks and you can't fix it because it's little cheap plastic!"
