HO! HO! HO! KURT RUSSELL IS SANTA IN NETFLIX’S CHRISTMAS MOVIE…

The Christmas Chronicles trailer proves that Kurt Russell can even make Santa Claus look cool. Netflix is getting in on the Christmas spirit this year, spreading some holiday cheer with a new take on Santa Claus. Clay Kaytis (The Angry Birds Movie) directed the film from producer Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone), and it looks like another hit for Netflix’s original content is in the mix.

The Christmas Chronicles Trailer 

The Christmas Chronicles tells the story of brother and sister, Kate and Teddy Pierce, who hatch a Christmas Eve plan to abduct Santa Claus. The siblings decide to film their adventure, which turns into an unexpected action-packed journey that most kids more than likely only dream about. However, the plan ends up with the brother and sister crashing Santa’s sleigh, which then sets Santa’s Christmas back significantly. In order to fix this problem, the brother and sister have to help Santa fulfill his Christmas Eve duties.

Kurt Russell is the coolest Santa Claus you’ll ever see in The Christmas Chronicles trailer. Will this Netflix family film be any good?

We’ll have to wait and see!

But at least Russell is clearly having fun playing the role of Jolly Old Saint Nick. One thing makes The Christmas Chronicles worth seeing: Kurt Russell. Russell, sporting a glorious beard, is giving the role of Santa Claus his all.

His gruff, hip Santa looks like he’s a few seconds from taking a swig of whiskey from a flask, and I’m here for it.

The Christmas Chronicles arrives on Netflix on November 22, 2018.
