Two years on, this sequel to Netflix's big hit of 2018 proves to be more of the same but bigger. With a real-world domestic scenario of a family resort holiday only bookending the film, this time the action is centred on Santa's village in the North Pole and a plot to destroy Christmas. Little can be described as subtle here, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are reliable as the Clauses, and Santa gets to duet with Darlene Love in an airport for no apparent reason other than it is Christmas. Part Two is perhaps a better film overall but less interesting than the original film in offering disposable lightweight festive fare, but little more can be said than that.

"In a few hours, this entire village will be nothing but a distant memory."
