The official trailer for The Night My Dad Saved Christmas 2 (original Spanish title: La Navidad en sus manos 2) has revealed a festive family comedy film brimming with chaos, picking up the baton of lovable troubles from the first movie. If you enjoy the blend of classic Christmas spirit with a touch of authentic Spanish humor, this trailer is sure to get you excited.

Chaos is the Central Theme

The trailer opens with a familiar Christmas setting but quickly descends into anarchy as it reveals the core plot: Santa Claus (Santiago Segura) has vanished! This instantly sets up an urgent rescue mission, elevating the film to a new level of dramatic and comedic stakes.

Plot Hook: The trailer cleverly introduces the villain—a ruthless toy company executive attempting to eliminate Santa Claus to dominate the Christmas market. This creates a classic good-versus-evil confrontation, but filtered through the absurdity of the main characters.
Family Dynamics: The father Salva (Ernesto Sevilla) and his now-teenager son (Unax Hayden) are once again thrust into the role of unlikely heroes. The generational friction, particularly with the son being older and having his own issues, promises both hilarious and heartwarming moments.

Humor Grounded in Absurdity

The strongest asset showcased in the trailer is its unreserved comedic style. The humorous situations are pushed to extremes, especially when a peculiar actor attempts to impersonate Santa Claus.

Exaggerated Reactions: The trailer features quick-witted dialogue and exaggerated expressions, typical of Spanish comedy. The Santa imposter character’s deadpan declaration, “The only important thing is that your parents pay,” provides a brilliantly cynical contrast to the usual festive cheer.
The Misfit North Pole: We catch glimpses of Santa’s workshop, which is far from the picture of perfection (“I thought the Papa Noel’s workshop existed. It was like the Casa Blanca.”), adding a layer of whimsical magic and endearing imperfections to the story.

Initial Verdict

The trailer for The Night My Dad Saved Christmas 2 promises a perfect family Christmas movie: fast-paced, full of adventure, and packed with wildly funny moments. It doesn’t aim to be a cinematic masterpiece, but pure, unadulterated entertainment, delivering laughter and the warm (if slightly disorganized) spirit of the holiday.

This film will be an excellent choice for a family movie night on Netflix this December 2025.
