Grab Your Popcorn: Everyone’s Favorite Honorary Father And Santa Claus, Tim Allen, Is Back Again For Brand New “The Santa Clauses” Series On Disney+
After The Santa Clause was released in 1994, millennials around the country dubbed Tim Allen as their honorary father figure.
He played Scott Calvin, a divorced dad who lacked a bit of Christmas spirit but had to put his own feelings aside after getting custody of his son, Charlie (played by Eric Lloyd), on Christmas Eve.
Then, after reading Charlie a holiday story before bedtime, the father-son duo was stunned to find that Santa Claus was really on their roof.
The real shock factor, though, came after Santa fell off the roof, his suit deflated, and via a contract clause, Scott became the brand new Santa Claus.
Kids everywhere got to watch as the unsuspecting father learned the holiday ropes and grew a strong love of giving. Plus, in the process, he rekindled a strained relationship with his only son.
The original film was such a widespread hit that Disney made the concept a trilogy– releasing The Santa Clause 2 in 2002 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause in 2006.
But if you thought that Tim Allen and his holiday spirit were just treasures of the past, think again– because we have some exciting news for you. Two weeks ago, a brand new miniseries, The Santa Clauses, was released on Disney+.
And before you get worried: no, they did not replace our favorite Santa Claus. In fact, Tim Allen is back and playing Scott Calvin better than ever.
He is also joined by other original cast members, including Elizabeth Mitchel, who plays Mrs. Claus, and David Krumholtz, who stars as the beloved Bernard the Elf.

This time around, the series focuses on how Scott Calvin has been acting as Santa Claus for nearly thirty years. So, of course, he could not be more jolly. Yet again, though, he is forced to deal with the declining popularity of Christmas. And avid fans might remember how when the Christmas spirit declines, so does Santa Claus’ magic.
In turn, Scott tries to reinvigorate the holiday joy while also trying to juggle meeting the demands of his job and being a family man.
The Santa Clauses has six episodes in total, but they have staggered release dates. The first four episodes are already out and available to be streamed after the first two were released on November 16, and the next two were released on November 23 and November 30.
The fifth episode will be available for viewing on Wednesday, December 7, and the series finale will premiere on Wednesday, December 14.
So, if you were looking for a brand new Christmas show that still dishes out a helpful dose of nostalgia, you do not have to look any further. To watch Tim Allen and the rest of his crew as they rush to make Christmas possible one more time, you can head over to Disney+ and stay tuned for the last two episodes.
