Actor Tim Allen said he fought to put Christ back into Christmas for the new Disney+ limited seriesin which he reprises his role of Santa Claus from the original trilogy of movies.
Speaking at a recent event held by The Wrap, Tim Allen revealed that religion will be a major theme in the new six-part series that began streaming last week. “It originally had a lot of otherworldly characters and ghosts and goblins. I said, ‘No, this is Christ-mas. Its Christ-mas. It literally is a religious holiday,’” he reportedly. “We don’t have to blow trumpets, but I do want you to acknowledge it — that’s what this is about. If you want to get into Santa Claus, you’re gonna have to go back to history, and it’s all about religion.”Viewers won’t be able to see what Allen means until the final episodes of the series.

Tim Allen is 'Humbled' to Be Santa Again in Disney's 'The Santa Clauses'For Tim Allen, revisiting his iconic lead role in ‘The Santa Clauses’ (November 16, Disney+) was more than just creating 'content' for a nostalgic streaming audience. 'We had a great responsibility,” he told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott on the Parting Shot. For Allen, who is 'humbled' to be 'reminded that I have been part of Santa Clause,' he wanted the new miniseries to 'make sense for the adults like me.' Part of that meant filling in some holes left by the original 1994 film, ‘The Santa Clause.’ 'There's a wonderful scene where I meet up and get kind of chastised by all the other Santas that have come and gone.' But ultimately what makes the role so relatable is 'it's about a guy's journey and about making sacrifices.' That's something Allen can relate to, given that his wholesome onscreen persona can be at odds with his onstage comic image. For Allen, who says sometimes 'censorship is required,' it's about how you communicate. 'There are better words than the F bomb. I can't think of them, but there are other ways to say that. It is possible to be very intelligent and yet still be very firm with your words.'
