Scott Calvin is back! The new trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series Santa Clauses brings Tim Allen back as merry old Saint Nick for a festive adventure that is sure to be a hit this holiday season. Released courtesy of the official Disney Plus YouTube channel, Santa Clauses continues with Scott Calvin and his family and Scott decides now is the time to retire and pass the mantle on to someone else. Big mistake! Watch the trailer for Santa Clauses below.
Santa Clauses continues with our hero Scott Calvin, who has been Santa Claus for nearly thirty years now. And is still as happy as ever. But as Christmas declines in popularity, so does its Christmas magic. Scott struggles to keep up with the demands of the job, but also to be there for his family. When Scott discovers there is a way to retire, and on the cusp of his 65th birthday, Scott considers stepping down as Santa and finding a worthy successor to become a better father and husband.
Santa Clauses will act as a continuation of the cherished Santa franchise, which first started way back in 1994. The Disney+ miniseries will find Tim Allen returning as Scott Calvin aka Santa Claus alongside Elizabeth Mitchell as Carol Calvin aka Mrs. claus; Austin Kane as Buddy “Cal” Calvin-Claus, Scott’s youngest son; and Allen’s real-life daughter Elizabeth Allen-Dick as Sandra Calvin-Claus, Scott and Carol’s youngest child.
The rest of the cast includes Kal Penn as Simon Choksi, whose life changes when he visits the North Pole; Matilda Lawler as Betty, Santa’s chief of staff; Rupali Redd as Grace Choksi, Simon’s kind-hearted daughter; Devin Bright as Noel, Santa’s right-hand man; Laura San Giacomo as Befana the Christmas witch; and Peyton Manning, who poses as a potential candidate for the next Santa. Santa Clauses will also see original Santa star David Krumholtz reprises his role as Santa Claus’s former right-hand agent Bernard.
Tim Allen returns as Santa after all these years
The last time Tim Allen wore the Santa suit and a big bushy beard was in 2006 with Santa Claus 3: The Escape Clause. Seeing Allen again is sure to be an absolute treat for fans this Christmas, and Allen has since revealed what it was like to don the suit again. And how it affected people on set.
“When I first walked on set in full uniform, everyone went very quiet, adults and children alike,” Allen said. “When I show up dressed in the full suit and everything else, there’s a big smile on people’s faces. Little kids are quiet. I completely forgot about that. It really does feel like Santa Claus is in the room.”
Santa Clauses will premiere with the first two episodes, “Chapter One: Good To Ho” and “Chapter Two: The Secessus Clause,” on November 16, 2022 on Disney+.
