What do Santa Claus and Succession's Logan Roy have in common? They're both played by Brian Cox.

Cox takes on the role of Father Christmas in Netflix's upcoming animated film That Christmas, based on the books by Love Actually director Richard Curtis, who also wrote the screenplay.

Marking the feature directorial debut of animator Simon Otto (How to Train Your Dragon), That Christmas tells the intertwining stories of the citizens of the small town of Wellington-on-Sea, whose Christmas is derailed by a freak snowstorm. Watch the trailer above to hear Cox's jovial Santa and witness some sweet Christmas chaos.

That Christmas hits Netflix Dec. 4.
