Four years after he starred as Santa Claus (formerly known as Nicomund the Red) in holiday action thriller Violent Night, he’s back for a sequel — and this time, he brought his wife, played by Kristen Bell. Mrs. Claus is played by Bell, and she looks just as battle-ready as her husband. Kristen Bell appears in Violent Night 2 as Mrs. Claus, who Santa calls as backup. The Santa Clause 2 sent Santa into the real world, limited his magic, and introduced Mrs. Claus. Violent Night 2 premieres in theaters on December 4, 2026.
