Netflix is helping everyone get into the Christmas spirit with their Netflix Original movies, and their latest is The Christmas Chronicles.
The Christmas Chronicles is a holiday adventure from producer Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) and director Clay Kaytis (The Angry Birds Movie), tells the story of sister and brother, Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis), whose Christmas Eve plan to catch Santa Claus (Kurt Russell) on camera turns into an unexpected journey that most kids could only dream about. After staking out Santa’s arrival, they sneak into his sleigh, cause it to crash and nearly derail Christmas. As their wild night unfolds, Kate and Teddy work together with Santa – as you’ve never seen him before – and his loyal Elves to save Christmas before it’s too late.
“No one is better suited than Kurt Russell to bring our version of a rugged, charismatic, and hilarious Santa Claus to life,” says director Clay Kaytis. “From our first meeting, he completely threw himself into this iconic role – and grew an impressive beard in the process. It has been a dream come true to work with Kurt in creating what I believe will be the new definition of Santa Claus for generations to come.”
Producer Chris Columbus describes Russell as “the definitive Santa Claus. Charismatic, tough when needed with a wicked sense of humour,” and expressed his excitement, “we’re really excited for audiences to see his performance onscreen and hope The Christmas Chronicles becomes a timeless classic.”
Starring Kurt Russell (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2), Oliver Hudson (Scream Queens), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (According To Jim), Judah Lewis (The Babysitter), Darby Camp (Big Little Lies), and Lamorne Morris (New Girl).
The Christmas Chronicles is available November 22nd internationally on Netflix.
