Disney+ has finally dropped the official trailer for The Santa Clauses, the upcoming limited series based on the Santa Clause film franchise. It will be available for streaming on November 16 with the first two episodes.
The video highlights the return of Tim Allen’s Santa Claus as he faces retirement after realizing that the Christmas spirit has died down. He leaves the North Pole with his family, consisting of Elizabeth Mitchell’s Carol and their two teenage kids. However, after finding out that he made a mistake with his replacement, he must return and save Christmas once again before all the elves disappear.

“Scott Calvin is back! After being Santa Claus for nearly thirty years, he’s as jolly as ever,” reads the synopsis. “But as Christmas declines in popularity, so does his Santa magic. Scott struggles to keep up with the demands of the job, as well as being there for his family. Upon discovering there is a way to retire from his post, Scott considers stepping down as Santa Claus and finding a worthy successor so that he can become a better father and husband.”
