The Christmas Chronicles 2

The Christmas Chronicles 2 (2020) is a festive whirlwind that tries to recapture the first film’s magic but stumbles a bit
. Kurt Russell’s Santa is still a total rockstar, all gruff charm and twinkle, stealing every scene with a killer musical number at an airport that had me grinning ear to ear 
. Goldie Hawn’s Mrs. Claus is sweet but feels sidelined, like a candy cane left in the wrapper
.





The North Pole is a visual treat—think toy factories and elf shenanigans galore—but the CGI can get overwhelming
. Kate’s teen angst and the villain Belsnickel’s revenge plot feel forced, and the pacing drags at nearly two hours
. Still, the heart of family and forgiveness shines through, especially in a touching flashback to Santa’s origins
. It’s not as fresh as the first, but Russell’s charisma and some jolly moments make it a cozy holiday watch. Perfect for hot cocoa and family vibes!
