Last month we got our first official look at Tim Allen‘s return to his role as Scott Calvin (aka Santa Claus) in “The Santa Clauses”—a limited original new series coming to Disney+ next month, and now we have the official trailer!

Synopsis: After being Santa Claus for nearly thirty years, he’s as jolly as ever. But as Christmas declines in popularity, so does his Santa magic. Scott struggles to keep up with the demands of the job, as well as being there for his family. Upon discovering there is a way to retire from his post, Scott considers stepping down as Santa Claus and finding a worthy successor so that he can become a better father and husband.

Check out the official trailer below to see Allen alongside Elizabeth Mitchell as Mrs. Claus (Carol), Austin Kane, Elizabeth Allen Dick (Allen’s real-life daughter), Kal Penn, Rupali Redd, Devin Bright, and Matilda Lawler.  In the trailer, we see that Eric Lloyd and David Krumholtz will reprise their roles as the beloved characters, Charlie Calvin and Bernard the Elf, respectively.

“The Santa Clauses” will begin streaming November 16th on Disney+ with a two-episode premiere!
