A trailer for The Santa Clauses’ upcoming second season was released on Tuesday – which saw Tim Allen’s Santa Claus take on an old adversary.
In the clip, Allen’s feisty character dealt with the emergence of Antas, also known as The Mad Santa, played by Eric Stonestreet – as the pair have tense words in a holiday shop.
The trailer begins with Santa Claus, also known as Scott Calvin, taking his family for a midnight ride in his sleigh, during which he exclaims: ‘Yee-haw! I love what I do!’
Allen’s character later brings his loved ones together to reveal that he wants to ‘turn Santa into a family business’ and that he has designated his son Cal, portrayed by Austin Kane, to serve as his successor.
Although he expresses that he believes that ‘Cal has what it takes to be the next Santa,’ his son is later intercepted by a homeowner after making one of his first trips down a chimney to deliver gifts.
