Disney Misspells 'Santa' in New Christmas Series, But Viewers Aren't Convinced It's a Joke

It’s a joke that goes back, at the very least, to Dana Carvey’s “Church Lady” character on “Saturday Night Live”: Yes, the letters in “Santa” can be rearranged to spell “Satan.” Har, har. Hilarious if it’s the first time you’ve heard it, which is probably at the age of 10.
The thing is, when Disney does it in 2022, audiences are less convinced it’s a joke.
I must confess that I’ve yet to see the miniseries that’s causing the hubbub. “The Santa Clauses” is a six-episode comedy that began being rolled out earlier this month on the streaming service Disney+.
The show updates Tim Allen’s mildly funny “Santa Clause” movies for the 2020s, complete with Allen’s character searching to find a replacement as he realizes his time as that ripe, jolly old elf is coming to a close. In another two years, we’ll be seeing new entries in the “Santa Clause” extended cinematic universe, given how Disney treats its intellectual property these days.
