The film -- which centers on two siblings who inadvertently derail Christmas after trying to record Santa on film -- will be a mix of live-action and CGI, with visual effects from Oscar-winner Erik-Jan De Boer (Life of Pi and Netflix's veggie opus Okja). Clay Kaytis, co-director of surprise hit The Angry Birds Movie, is directing. The flick starts shooting in January and will reportedly hit the streaming service in time for the 2018 holiday season.

Netflix has been cranking up its family fare as damage control for Disney pulling its programming from the platform. It's already introduced a bunch of interactive kids shows (including Dreamworks Animations' Puss in Boots: Trapped in an Epic Tale). Its line-up also includes last year's Voltron: Legendary Defender reboot.
