The Santa Clauses returned to Disney+ last month for its second season. As the new villain “Mad Santa” (Eric Stonestreet) enthralled fans, some religious viewers again boycotted the festive series over a joke made last season.

In the third episode of season one, “Into the Wobbly Wood,” the elves throw a surprise goodbye party for the Claus family. Attempting to spell “We love you Santa,” they accidentally swap places and spell “We Love You Satan.” All the characters laugh, and the mistake is quickly fixed.

After Tim Allen promised to “embrace Christ” in the Christmas-themed series, thousands of Christian viewers felt he let them down. “#cancelDisney” and “#protectthechildren” trended on TikTok.

The Santa Clauses was successful enough for a second season, but some former fans are determined to cancel the show. This week, TikToker Jesse Speaks (@jesse.s.bean) shared the “We Love You Satan” clip with tens of thousands of viewers. He accused Walt Disney Studios of pushing a “satanic agenda.”

“If all of that stuff isn’t real, why do we keep pretending that it is?” Jesse asked. “Or could it be that it is very real and that maybe some of us are living in a delusion that none of this is actually happening? But we can see it clear as day.”

Thousands of commenters agreed with the content creator.

“They not even trying to hide it anymore,” @fett_world wrote.

“I agree I’m done,” said @ttr8cielynxxx. “Disney is done… I changed my mind on going to Disneyland.”

“Disney does not get played in my house,” @tyler_brookshire agreed.

The Walt Disney Company hasn’t announced a third season of The Santa Clauses following the season two finale, which premiered on December 6.
