Development

On January 14, 2022, Disney confirmed that Allen would reprise his role in a limited series that would serve as a sequel and stream on Disney+ with Jack Burditt serving as showrunner and executive producer.

Scott Calvin is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizing that he can't be Santa forever. He's starting to lose a step in his Santa duties, and more importantly, he's got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the Pole. With a lot of elves, children, and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole.
