Who Will Play Mrs. Claus? Kristen Bell and Daniela Melchior Join 'Violent Night' Sequel

I have to say, I didn’t see this coming — Violent Night 2 just got even more interesting. According to Deadline, Kristen Bell and Daniela Melchior have officially joined the cast of the R-rated Christmas action sequel. David Harbour is returning as Santa Claus, and original director Tommy Wirkola is back to helm the chaos.

It’s hard not to wonder who Bell and Melchior will be playing. With Mrs. Claus teased but never shown in the first film, it’s tempting to assume one of them will step into that role.

Personally, I’m hoping for a fun twist — maybe one becomes the villain, or they’re part of the next family Santa has to save. Either way, it’s exciting to see such talented actors joining this wild, bloody holiday ride.

Violent Night 2 is set for release on December 4, 2026, giving us plenty of time to speculate and hype up what’s shaping up to be another outrageous Christmas thriller. I, for one, can’t wait to see what Santa and his new co-stars get up to.
