WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 1973, Ralphie Parker (Billingsley) – now an adult – returns to his childhood home with his family for the holidays following the passing of his father. Determined to give his children the kind of Christmas he once had as a child, Ralphie sets out to reunite with old friends, and fondly remember his time with the “Old Man”…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

While there have previously been some continuations of the classic 1983 Christmas movie, this sequels marks the first time that original lead Peter Billingsley has been involved in any capacity, so you know it’s going to be extra special this time round.
