"This franchise has had a lasting impact for so many families, truly becoming part of their annual holiday traditions," Disney Branded Television boss Ayo Davis announced in a press release. "Bringing it back as a series has been a true gift, and I'm grateful to our producing partners at 20th Television and, of course, Tim Allen and team, that we have yet another reason to celebrate this holiday season."

In addition to the returning cast members, The Santa Clauses will feature Allen's real-life daughter, Elizabeth Allen-Dick, as Scott's daughter.

Laura San Giacomo also joined the series as La Befana the Christmas Witch. You can read the official synopsis below: 

"Scott Calvin is back! 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."

Originally released weekly, the series is now streaming in its entirety on Disney+.
