Netflix has not announced The Christmas Chronicles 3, so there is no official release date, cast list, story or trailer for a third film.
This page sets out what Netflix does confirm about The Christmas Chronicles (2018) and The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two (2020), where to watch both films, and how to tell a real announcement from a rumour.
Christmas Chronicles 3 expected release date
There is no expected release date for Christmas Chronicles 3 because Netflix has not confirmed the film exists.
Netflix's own title pages list two films in the series, and neither page mentions a sequel in development.
| Film | Year on Netflix | Status |
|---|---|---|
| The Christmas Chronicles | 2018 | Released, streaming on Netflix |
| The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two | 2020 | Released, streaming on Netflix |
| The Christmas Chronicles 3 | None | Not announced by Netflix |
Any date you see for a 2025 or 2026 release did not come from Netflix. Treat it as a guess until Netflix publishes it.

Christmas Chronicles 3 story and plot predictions
Netflix has released no story or plot for a third Christmas Chronicles film, so any plot summary you read elsewhere is a prediction, not a detail.
What Netflix does confirm is how the story has moved across the first two films.
| Film | Story as Netflix describes it | Status |
|---|---|---|
| The Christmas Chronicles | A brother and sister crash Santa's sleigh and spend the night helping a savvy, straight-talking St. Nick save Christmas. | Confirmed |

A real announcement would add a title page on netflix.com or an article on Netflix Tudum. Until one of those appears, the status stays unannounced.
