Kurt Russell has landed his jolliest role yet — Santa Claus!

The iconic actor is headed to Netflix this holiday season for “The Christmas Chronicles”, from director Clay Kaytis (“The Angry Birds Movie”) and produced by Chris Columbus (“Home Alone”, and the first two ‘Harry Potter’ films).

In ‘Chronicles’, siblings Kate (Darby Camp) and Teddy Pierce (Judah Lewis) hatch a scheme to capture Santa Claus (Russell) on Christmas Eve. When the plan goes awry, the kids join forces with a somewhat jolly Saint Nick and his loyal elves to save the holiday before it’s too late.

The movie also stars Oliver Hudson (“Journey Back to Christmas”), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (“The Christmas Train”) and Lauren Collins (“Degrassi: The Next Generation”).

“The Christmas Chronicles” releases on Netflix this November 22nd. Watch the teaser trailer below!

Stay merry!
