Danny Glover’s Santa Is Targeted by The Naughty Nine in Disney Channel Christmas Movie Trailer

Danny Glover’s Santa Claus is getting too old for this s… tuff.

Lethal Weapon vet Glover plays a Santa whose North Pole is about to be infiltrated by some not-entirely-nice kids in the above trailer for The Naughty Nine, a Disney Channel Christmas movie premiering Wednesday, Nov. 22 at 8/7c.

In The Naughty Nine, mischievous fifth-grader Andy (played by 8-Bit Christmas‘ Winslow Fegley) finds himself without a present from Santa on Christmas morning. Realizing he must have landed on the “naughty list” and feeling unfairly maligned, Andy pulls together a team of eight other “naughty listers” to help him execute an elaborate heist in Santa’s Village at the North Pole to get the presents they feel they deserve.

Along the way, though, the group of course comes to realize that the very best way off the naughty list is to “redirect their unique talents for good ― instead of mischief.”

The DCOM’s cast also includes Camila Rodriguez as Dulce, Andy’s best friend and archery expert; Anthony Joo (New Amsterdam) as North Pole conspiracy theorist Lewis; Imogen Cohen (The Fairly Oddparents) as daredevil “wheel woman” Ha-Yoon; Clara Stack (Hawkeye‘s Young Kate) as animal whisperer Rose; Deric McCabe (Home Before Dark) as master-of-disguise Jon Anthony; Ayden Elijah as Albert; Madilyn Kellam (Afterwalker) as Andy’s older sister, Laurel, a skilled gymnast seeking to regain her confidence; and Derek Theler (68 Whiskey) as Bruno, a disgruntled cargo pilot who claims to have witnessed Santa’s sleigh.

Watch the fun-n-festive trailer above and tell us if The Naughty Nine looks like a holiday gift for the whole family.
