The Santa Clause 4: The New North Star (2026)
Tim Allen, Judge Reinhold, Wendy Crewson
Christmas magic is harder to manage than ever — and Scott Calvin is about to face his biggest holiday headache.
In The New North Star, Scott (Tim Allen) has settled comfortably into his role as Santa, but the North Pole begins experiencing strange magical outages: fading lights, malfunctioning sleigh tech, and elves losing their holiday cheer. Something — or someone — is draining Christmas at its source.
When an ancient celestial compass known as The North Star begins to dim, Scott discovers a forgotten prophecy: every few centuries, Santa must choose a successor to protect the future of Christmas. But Scott isn’t ready to retire… and neither is Christmas ready to lose him.
Things get even more chaotic when Neal (Judge Reinhold) and Laura (Wendy Crewson) show up with news that Charlie’s daughter may have inherited a rare spark — the kind that could make her the next Santa.
As Scott mentors the potential new heir and battles a mischievous winter spirit determined to steal the role for himself, he must decide what truly makes someone worthy of the red suit.
Funny, warm, and full of holiday magic, The New North Star reminds everyone that Christmas isn’t powered by a single Santa —
but by the heart big enough to carry the world’s joy.
