Christmas season is here and it’s time for the Christmas movies and shows to come out. If you were a fan of The Santa Clauses movies growing up, you’ll be delighted to know that a sequel miniseries to the film series is coming to Disney+. The Santa Clauses films have always been one of the favorite Christmas movies to watch during the holiday season. But the last film we saw in the franchise was the 2006 film The Santa Clauses 3: The Escape Clause.
Disney+ shared that it’s been 30 years since Scott Calvin became Santa Claus and he is “as jolly as ever.” But it’s a different world now, the popularity of Christmas is feigning and so is the magic of Santa. The work-life balance is also weighing him down as his job at the Pole and being with his family are becoming more and more problematic. Because of all of this, Scott has decided to retire from being Santa, but before he retires he has to find a worthy successor.
The Santa Clauses – When Is It Coming Out?
The Santa Clauses is due to premiere on Disney+ with its first two episodes on November 16 and then the rest of the four episodes will air weekly, with the finale episode airing on December 14, 2022.
