The Santa Clauses trailer is here, and has given fans a glimpse of two original characters returning for this brand new adventure.
Disney+'s miniseries, consisting of six episodes, sees Tim Allen reprising the role of Scott Calvin (aka Santa) from The Santa Clause films.
The upcoming series will follow Santa as he chooses to retire to spend more time with his family, his wife Carol (Elizabeth Mitchell) and his two younger kids, played by Elizabeth Allen-Dick and Austin Kane.

Approaching the ripe age of 65, he will need to choose a Santa replacement before enjoying his life south of the pole, a nod to how the franchise started – albeit in a significantly less dark fashion this time around.
Despite putting in his best efforts, Santa's plans don't go as smoothly as he'd hoped. The trailer teases shenanigans are on the way, with the protagonist and his family and friends teaming up to save the day – and the festive season.
The clip also confirms that Scott's eldest Charlie Calvin (Eric Lloyd) is making a comeback, and he's as surprised as the rest of us that Santa can actually retire. And fan-favourite Bernard the Elf (David Krumholtz) makes an appearance, too.

"Now we're getting somewhere," the head elf says towards the end of the trailer, possibly hinting at some plan-hatching that might just save Christmas.
The cast is rounded out by Kal Penn (How I Met Your Mother, American Horror Story), Matilda Lawler (Station Eleven) and Pretty Woman star Laura San Giacomo making her Santa franchise debut as Befana the Christmas Witch.
The Santa Clauses begins streaming on November 16 on Disney+.
