Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn Say Christmas Is ‘Doomed’
Netflix dropped the trailer for “The Christmas Chronicles” sequel Monday, that includes the returns of Kurt Russell as Santa and Goldie Hawn as Mrs. Claus in a brand new journey to avoid wasting Christmas, which is outwardly “doomed” without end.
Watch the trailer for the Chris Columbus-directed movie by way of the video above.
Here’s the synopsis for the film, which is the followup to the streaming service’s 2018 vacation film “The Christmas Chronicles”:
“It’s been two years since siblings Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis) saved Christmas, and a lot has changed. Kate, now a cynical teenager, is reluctantly spending Christmas in Cancun with her mom’s new boyfriend (Tyrese Gibson) and his son Jack (Jahzir Bruno). Unwilling to accept this new version of her family, Kate decides to run away. But when a mysterious, magical troublemaker named Belsnickel threatens to destroy the North Pole and end Christmas for good, Kate and Jack are unexpectedly pulled into a new adventure with Santa Claus (Kurt Russell). Written and directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter) and co-starring Goldie Hawn, ‘The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two’ is an action-packed adventure for the whole family that’s full of heart, humor, and holiday spirit.”
Along with Russell and Hawn, “The Christmas Chronicles 2” stars Darby Camp, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Jahzir Bruno, Julian Dennison, Tyrese Gibson, Darlene Love and Judah Lewis.
The movie was written by Matt Lieberman and Columbus, with Columbus directing. Producers embrace Columbus, Mark Radcliffe, Michael Barnathan and Russell.
“The Christmas Chronicles 2,” which launches Nov. 25, will not be the one new unique vacation content material coming to Netflix this season. The streaming service’s lineup consists of a further sequel, “The Princess Switch: Switched Again,” in addition to the debuts of films “Holidate” and “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey,” and reveals “Dash & Lily” and “Holiday Home Makeover with Mr. Christmas,” and the Christmas specials/sequence finales for “The Big Show Show” and “Ashley Garcia: Genius in Love,” together with many extra titles.
