Santa is one of the most important characters in a part of global culture. With the arrival of December, and even a little earlier, the figure of Santa emerges as a constant reference in different sectors. From business and family, to work. Within the cinema, its tradition is rich. Each person may have their favorite actor when playing the character. Beyond individual tastes, one of the most prominent performers in the role has been Tim Allen, who will return for the role in a Disney Plus series.
Tim Allen's relationship with the character is longstanding. In 1994, with his participation in The Santa Clause as the representative of Santa Claus, the actor won the People's Choice Award. He repeated that role in different sequels: The Santa Clause 2 (2002 ) and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006). The series that Disney Plus is planning is related to Scott Calvin, the character played by Allen, who will be the protagonist. According to company information, Scott Calvin is about to turn 65 and realizes he can't be Santa Claus forever.
Therefore, within the synopsis of Disney, the protagonist is beginning to neglect his duties as Santa Claus and, more importantly, he has a family that could benefit from a life in the everyday world, in particular for his two children ( we must remember that they grew up in the Pole). Therefore, a need arises: to find a replacement. That will be the essence of the plot of the series.
