Kurt Russell's cool, charismatic Santa saves Christmas in Netflix's The Christmas Chronicles. Here's how to watch the holiday adventure in order.
The Christmas Chronicles reinvents Santa Claus as a quick-witted, leather-clad hero played by Kurt Russell, with Goldie Hawn joining as Mrs. Claus. The Netflix films follow the Pierce siblings as they team up with Santa on magical, time-sensitive missions to save Christmas.
π Release Order
Release order is best, as the sequel expands on the first film's cast and lore.
- The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
- The Christmas Chronicles 2 (2020)
Story chronology follows release order, with the sequel continuing the Pierce family's relationship with Santa.
π Story Chronology
Story chronology matches release order β The Christmas Chronicles 2 picks up a couple of years later, deepening the North Pole mythology.
- The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
- The Christmas Chronicles 2 (2020)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch the 2018 original first to meet Kurt Russell's one-of-a-kind Santa, then continue to the bigger, more fantastical sequel. The second film rewards you with more Mrs. Claus and richer world-building once you know the Pierce kids. Release order is the way to go.
