Nothing beats a little face time with Santa Claus.
“You drive to work in traffic, getting flipped off by people who cut in front of you, and then you show up and it’s the North Pole,” says actor Kal Penn. “There’s no such thing as a bad morning” when Santa’s in the mix.
When “The Santa Clause,” the first film in the series, came out, Penn was in high school. “That quickly got added to the rotation of ‘Home Alone,’ ‘Christmas Story’ and ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,’” he says. “When I saw this, I said, ‘Yeah, I would obviously love to be a part of this franchise.’”
Considering the country has been through a contentious political period, he was keen to join the “Clauses.” “If you liked the original films, I think you’ll really love this, especially because the special effects that exist in 2022 didn’t exist in the ‘90s.”
