Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn return as Santa and Mrs. Claus

If you’re the type who disapproves of acknowledging Christmas before Thanksgiving, do not look at Sunday’s copy of Parade magazine — which has Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn on the cover as Santa and Mrs. Claus from their new film, “The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two.”

The couple reveals that years ago they took their kids to a shopping mall to see Santa, but store St. Nick had left for the day. Russell quickly cast himself in the role, putting on Santa’s outfit and sitting in his chair. He was so convincing in the part, their son Wyatt (now 34) didn’t catch on.

Russell asked him, “What do you want, little boy?’” Hawn recalls.
