The Santa Clauses pulls an Elf and needs to re-fill Claus-o-meter in new trailer
Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Bernard the Elf are back for The Santa Clauses

Despite all the handwringing about “Disney being too woke for consummate truthteller Tim Allen” earlier this year, Tim Allen is back for The Santa Clauses, a six-part Disney+ series based on his long-running Disney franchise. Seeing as those pesky college kids who demand he “treat them with respect and dignity” won’t let him comedians perform on stage anymore, he now has to return on his hands and knees to the Mouse House a mere six months after the release of Lightyear, a Pixar a movie that recast Tim Allen with Chris Evans.
In The Santa Clauses, the big red boy is retiring. Apparently, all the kids on his list are growing up, and he hasn’t bothered updating since he took the job 25 years ago. Honestly, Santa’s retirement sounds more like a failure of logistics. Why weren’t the Elves keeping up with the kids?
Unfortunately, the real problem is in human resources and, more specifically, the North Pole’s hiring manager. It makes sense because, if Pixar has taught us anything, it’s that kids love movies about bureaucracy. You see, Santa hired “the wrong guy” to take over the role, and now elves are disappearing, and Christmas cheer is depleting. He’ll need to fill up that Claus-o-meter if they’re going to keep Christmas going. As a result, Santa is going to do what baby boomers do best and come out of retirement.
The old gang is joining Allen for his triumphant return to Disney. Franchise MVP Elizabeth Mitchell returns as Carol Calvin, better known as Mrs. Claus, and, much to the immediate enjoyment of Santa fans (Fantas?) everywhere, David Krumholtz will return as Bernard the Elf. As for who’s playing the new guy, Laura San Giacomo is featured in the trailer as Befana the Christmas Witch. Could she be Santa’s new hire? If so, why would he hire a Christmas Witch to be a Santa?
All will be revealed when the first two episodes of The Santa Clauses drop down the chimney and on to Disney+ on November 16.

Pfft, there’s no such thing as Santa Claus.
Incorrect, there is no such thing as Tim Allen.
How do you explain, Tim Allen?
Then who was my mommy kissing under the mistletoe on Christmas?
Tim Allen.
Dawes.
I’ve known there was no Santa Claus since I was about four years old, and I asked an otherwise plausible mall Santa (real beard, proper age/build, etc.) for a Whiplash, which was a badass Masters of the Universe action figure.He had no idea what I was talking about, and that’s when I knew it was all bunk. A real Santa would definitely have heard of Whiplash, for fuck’s sake
Is that what set you on your life’s path of volunteer proofreading?
Seeing as those pesky college kids who demand he “treat them with respect and dignity” won’t let him comedians perform on stage anymoreIs this Jamaican patois?
Yuh mon! I & I ‘tink Santa Come To Trenchtown would be irie!
Wasn’t ol Tim the Snitch whining not that long ago about how his generic white boy tepid taeks made him a victim or something? Hopefully Elizabeth Mitchell is making good money off of putting up with a lot of fragility.
I’m weirdly excited for this, despite Tim Allen being uh… not the best person to represent Santa. It’s probably because I’m a 90’s kid.
This is IMPOSSIBLE!!I was told by many-a-rightwinger that Tim Allen had been “cancelled” by “woke Disney” because he’s a conservative.
But here we are with FAKE NEWS saying Tim Allen has a FULL ON SERIES with Disney+?!?!? Again, impossible!What, next you’re going to tell me that Hasbro still sells Mr. Potato Head toys.. Whatsthat? They do!?! FAKEITYFAKENEWS I tells ya, FAKE!!
Say what you will about Tim Allen’s shitty politics, but the man has a surprising number of good family films. The Santa Clause, Galaxy Quest, Toy Story… He performs well in this stuff. I don’t particularly need to see more of him at this point, but credit where credit’s due, I guess.
Good everyman guy. I really like him in Wild Hogs too. Fun cast all round actually.
Sir, my job is hard enough. I can’t write the word Santa on a cup!!
Retire? I thought Santa had to be inadvertently murdered to pass the mantle. These are the pre-established Disney Christmas rules.
I would absolutely watch a movie about Befana. Come on Matt, you should’ve led with that!But seriously, I don’t think Befana is the bad hire. She is a notoriously good witch who loves children, Jesus, and is fairly humble. In fact, she gives out presents on Epiphany. I really hope it’s Krampus
