Disney+ has revealed the return of The Santa Clauses on its platform this festive season.

A release date for season two of the hit show has been confirmed for Wednesday, 8 November 2023.

The first two episodes will drop together before new instalments are added weekly.

Starring Tim Allen, The Santa Clauses debuted last year and was a top 5 most-watched original series on Disney+ by hours streamed during the holiday season.

A teaser for the new episodes shares: “In the series’ sophomore season, the Calvin family is back at the North Pole, as Scott Calvin continues his role as Santa Claus after his retirement plans were thwarted when he failed to find a worthy successor in season one.

“Now that Scott and his family have successfully saved Christmas, Scott turns his focus towards training his son Cal to eventually take over the “family business” as Santa Claus.”
