Even Santa Claus has challenging days! Netflix’s new animated Christmas comedy, “This Christmas,” captures these moments in a story filled with multiple plotlines, inspired by a trilogy of children’s books by writer-director Richard Curtis, known for classics such as Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Notting Hill.
To steer this sleigh full of surprises, the production tapped director Simon Otto, experienced in blending humor and emotion in animated films thanks to his work on the How to Train Your Dragon series. The voice cast features well-known actors including British actor Brian Cox, the formidable patriarch from the series Succession, delivering Santa’s “ho ho ho’s.” Irish actress Fiona Shaw (Aunt Petunia in the Harry Potter films) and British actress Jodie Whittaker (Broadchurch, Doctor Who) are also part of the cast.
