Proving once again that there can't be a good movie without a sequel, this is the unnecessary follow-up to the endearing Netflix Christmas Special featuring Kurt Russell as Santa Claus. This one features a somewhat ginned-up conflict with one of Santa's elves, who becomes evil out of jealousy. It features the same kids as the last outing, and both Russell and Goldie Hawn return as the Clauses. But the magic's largely gone, buried under the contrived plot.
Not recommended.
