Truth be told, if Ernest wasn't in this film, it wouldn't really matter. He doesn't have such a crucial significance for the story, although he does have some funny scenes, especially those involving disguises. But Santa Claus and the other characters would have been enough, Ernest is just there to be there. Maybe that's why it's kind of cool.
