Explore the magic of the holiday season as we reimagine Santa Claus in a fresh and diverse light. In this journey, we celebrate Black Santa Clause Movies. It's part of our series of Black Christmas Movies.
Black Santa Clause Movies
Black Santa Claus movies often explore themes of diversity, inclusivity, and breaking traditional stereotypes associated with the iconic holiday figure.
These films frequently highlight the importance of representation, cultural richness, and the power of unity in embracing different perspectives on the beloved character of Santa Claus.
Additionally, you may encounter themes of family, community, and the universal spirit of giving, all wrapped in a festive and uplifting cinematic experience.
Here are our favorites:
Call Me Claus

With their car broken down, Marshall's mom is about to have a baby and his dad, without health insurance, inspires the gang to invite them in the clubhouse for shelter.
Tyrone agrees to let them stay until the baby is born, in exchange for Fat Albert working for him as a sidewalk Santa. “Ho-ho-ho's” in Fat Albert fashion ensue.
