Disney needs to make The Santa Clause 4

Will Disney make The Santa Clause 4?

The Santa Clause is one of the most popular Christmas franchises ever made, and after three exceptional titles, fans are more than ready for a fourth entry to arrive. While there has been no official announcement regarding the future of a potential The Santa Clause 4 from Disney, it’s definitely something fans of the yuletide series of films would be opposed to having.

There hasn’t been a Santa Clause film since 2006, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. The films altogether have grossed almost $400 million after costing an estimated less than $100 million, meaning they have been a success overall, leaving little reason not to make The Santa Clause 4.

It could be that the last film received less than ideal reviews from critics and showcased the properties franchise fatigue. But now enough time has passed to bring the anticipation for another installment to an all-time high, and if The Santa Clause 4 was to ever happen at Disney/Disney Plus, it would seem that the time is now.

Because of the lackluster performance from the last outing, a theatrical run for the fourth installment on a long-dormant franchise may not seem like an exciting proposal for studio execs, meaning it most likely would be a no-go for a big-screen endeavor. But now the House of Mouse is doubling down on digital, and The Santa Clause 4 would be a fine addition to Disney+.

The streaming service has already had some success with one original Christmas movie with Anna Kendrick’s Noelle, so there is definitely a market for noel-centric films on the service. The other three Santa Clause films exist as a top choice Xmas trilogy next to the Home Alone films. Since the series of films already have a home on the platform meaning it would be a perfect place to launch The Santa Clause 4.

The big question is whether or not Tim Allen would be down to reprise the role. He has been consistent with his other Disney character Buzz Lightyear and with Last Man Standing coming to an, and he may be available to take on the art. But there is a chance that he may not need to come back and a new actor could take on the role of his son Buddy Claus was introduced in the last film.

While the future of The Santa Clause 4 remains unknown at this time. While everyone waits for news on another movie’s fate, they can relive all the great moments from the first season on Disney+, which will absolutely put everyone in the Christmas spirit.

We’ll be sure to keep everyone updated on any news and information regarding The Santa Clause 4 as it comes out.
