As of July 2025, Netflix has not officially confirmed a third installment of The Christmas Chronicles series. Despite ongoing fan excitement and online speculation, The Christmas Chronicles 3 remains unannounced and undeveloped.The Story So Far:
The first two films—The Christmas Chronicles (2018) and The Christmas Chronicles 2 (2020)—starred Kurt Russell as a charismatic and modern Santa Claus, alongside Goldie Hawn as a wise and magical Mrs. Claus. Both films were praised for their family-friendly tone, imaginative holiday world-building, and emotional themes centered on belief, love, and redemption.Is The Christmas Chronicles 3 in Development?
At this time, there are no official plans from Netflix to produce a third movie. While rumors and AI-generated posters have circulated online, they are not backed by any real announcements or production reports.
Director Chris Columbus has expressed interest in continuing the story, especially in exploring Mrs. Claus’s backstory. He hinted at a “melancholy and mysterious” side to her character that could be central in a third film. However, he also admitted that Netflix has not approached him or the cast for a sequel.Cast and Future Possibilities
Both Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn have shown enthusiasm for their roles and could potentially return if a third film were greenlit. Supporting characters like Kate, Teddy, and even Belsnickel might appear again, but their story arcs were largely resolved in the second film. If a third movie is eventually announced, it could follow the previous release pattern and arrive during the holiday season—most likely Christmas 2025 or later.While The Christmas Chronicles 3 hasn’t been confirmed, the franchise still holds a special place in the hearts of fans around the world. Whether or not Netflix brings it back, the spirit of the series—family, magic, and believing in the impossible—continues to shine. If you’re hoping for a third movie, the best thing to do is stay tuned to Netflix’s official channels and keep the Christmas spirit alive.
