Picking up where the third and (then final) installment of the popular Santa Clause film franchise left off back in 2006, quite some time has since passed. And that little “baby” Carol (Mrs. Claus) gave birth to in the end of the film, isn’t such a little baby anymore. In fact, the Santa Claus family has grown to also include a daughter.

As the premise goes, Scott Calvin—now approaching age 65—feels that he may be getting a little old to be Santa Claus. We know right? Isn’t Santa supposed to be old? All the same, he feels it may be the right decision for him and his family if he retires from is Santa duties, and therefore readies to pass on the torch to the right kind of successor.

While we will not know all details until The Santa Clauses officially premiers, what we can gather from the trailer and other statements that have been made is that one viable candidate hoping to prove himself is a new character introduced to us as Simon Choski—a single-father who just also happens to be a game inventor/product developer with the initials “SC.” Coincidental? Maybe not.
