The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two

During a Christmas visit, Kate Pierce finds herself sharing the holiday with her mom's new partner and his son. Suddenly the North Pole faces a threat that could wipe out Christmas, and Kate and her companions are swept into a new adventure with Santa Claus. They team up with Santa and Mrs. Claus, traveling through snowy towns and dazzling skies as they try to outsmart the danger threatening holiday cheer. The mission tests their ability to cooperate, improvise, and keep faith in the magic of Christmas. The film blends family tensions with fast moving action and party sized humor, delivering a festive ride without revealing how the peril is ultimately resolved. The film also hits emotional notes with surprising ease.

Directed by Chris Columbus from a story by Matt Lieberman, film arrived on Netflix in 2020 as a sequel to 2018. Kurt Russell returns as Santa, with Goldie Hawn as Mrs. Claus and Darby Camp as Kate Pierce, expanding myth.

Because it premiered on Netflix, the film did not have a traditional theatrical run and therefore has no reported worldwide gross. Box office figures, if any, come from streaming platforms rather than ticket sales. No box office data is reported.

The film leans into familiar holiday iconography with Kurt Russell's confident Santa and a brisk family humor that signals a postmodern fairy tale. Belsnickel appears as a folkloric foe, while the North Pole setting provides neon wonder and keeps the story light. It also nods to classic holiday adventures everywhere.

Critics noted a solid choice for family audiences with breezy pacing and a mix of humor and warmth. The film centers on loyalty, teamwork, and the idea that children and adults can unite to protect Christmas rather than going it alone. Its tone stays hopeful without tipping into sentimentality early.
