Festive fans, rejoice! Because Netflix has finally dropped the first trailer for The Christmas Chronicles 2 - the much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 Yuletide flick.

That's right, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are back as Santa and Mrs. Claus, and the first-look at the movie has put me right in the mood for some eggnog.

Check out the first magical trailer below:

Writing on the official Netflix Film Twitter account, the streaming giants said: "It's time for Mrs. Claus to get her due.

"Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn are back to save the holidays in THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES 2, only on Netflix 25 November."

Unlike the first instalment, which was directed by Clay Kaytis, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone director Chris Columbus has taken the helm.

And in an interview with People, Columbus revealed what it was like working with the real-life Hollywood sweethearts, Russell and Hawn.

Describing the experience as "really, really fun", he said: "There’s a tremendous amount of respect there and a tremendous amount of love and trust, partially because they’ve been together for so long.

"They just get along beautifully. There’s a lot of laughter and it’s just a really, really fun set."

Other stars in the movie include Julian Dennison, who will be reprising the role of Belsnickel, and Jahzir Bruno as Jack.

As reported by The Business Insider, Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos revealed that the first movie received 20 million views in its first week.

He added: "If every one of those was a movie ticket purchase, that's a $200 million opening week. Even movies that go on to $1 billion don't typically do that in the first week."

And yes, you read that correct: the movie will be available to stream on November 25! Maybe the end of 2020 won't be as bad the start.
