A sequel to the 2018 film The Christmas Chronicles, it features Kurt Russell reprising his role as Santa Claus.

[1] Also reprising their roles are Goldie Hawn, Darby Camp, Judah Lewis, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley, with new cast members Julian Dennison, Jahzir Bruno, Tyrese Gibson, Sunny Suljic, Darlene Love, and Malcolm McDowell.

Unbeknownst to Kate and their stowaway Jack, the shuttle is driven by Belsnickel, a nefarious Christmas elf, who sends them unexpectedly through a wormhole to the North Pole.

While flying back to the village, Belsnickel catches up to them on a sleigh pulled by jackalotes (a hybrid of a jackal and a coyote which he created).

Kate attempts to buy AAA batteries for Belsnickel's time travel device at Boston airport so she and Santa can return to the future.

When she laments about her wrongdoings in Cancun, another kid named Doug Pierce comforts her and helps her escape.

With help from airport worker Grace, Santa gets everybody singing a Christmas song so the weather clears.

With Christmas spirit high enough for the sleigh to fly, he puts in the batteries, so they head back and recover the star.

[5] Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Darby Camp, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, and Judah Lewis were all confirmed to reprise their roles, while Julian Dennison and Jahzir Bruno joined the cast for the sequel.

The website's critics consensus reads: "While it's missing some of the magic of the original, The Christmas Chronicles 2 serves up a sweet second helping of holiday cheer that makes the most of its marvelously matched leads.
