“The Christmas Chronicles 2” (*** out of four) was a delightful sequel to the 2018 hit about a now grown-up Kate (Darby Camp) who becomes unexpectedly reunited with Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus (Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn) when an unexpected villain re-appears and threatens to cancel Christmas forever and they all have to save the day. Unabashedly old-fashioned children’s tale is enriched by sumptuous and lavish production design (with candy-colored cinematography from Don Burgess) and winning cast. Yet another entertaining holiday commercial confection from the always dependable writer/director Chris Columbus.
