The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two
Netflix is spreading holiday cheer this season with an impressive selection of Christmas movies, including the follow-up to 2018’s The Christmas Chronicles, The Christmas Chronicles 2. The second film sees the return of Kate (Darby Camp), who is yanked from a holiday trip with her mom and her mom’s boyfriend and back to the North Pole, where she helps save Christmas from a grumpy grinch named Belsnickel.
The evil elf transports Kate back to 1990 at one point in the film, where she meets a young boy in the airport who helps her out when she’s confronted by airport security. The Christmas Chronicles 2 didn’t just drop in any companion for Kate, though — the boy she befriends in the airport is actually a younger version of her late dad, Doug Pierce, who had died a year before the first Christmas Chronicles movie.
Although only appears in the end of the film, Doug teaches Kate a valuable lesson about Christmas and pays a big role in her mission to save the holiday. Here’s everything you need to know about The Christmas Chronicles 2’s Doug Pierce:
