FREE "A Christmas Story" Showing & Party

We're so excited to be partnering with The Garden Theater to showcase a beloved film to get you in the holiday spirit: A Christmas Story (1983, PG)!

The showing is FREE to all guests, and if you dress up your Holiday Best, you get a free Kilwins treat! (Limited to first-come, first-serve basis.)

We couldn't BELIEVE the turnout to our free showing of Practical Magic back in October 2023 when we first started this thing; we had around 125 of you show up, and probably 90% of you were dressed up as a witch!

So we decided we'd like to make this a MONTHLY event, and we're calling it "Monthly Movie Club," where we will feature great nostalgic flicks!

A Christmas Story is a 1983 Christmas comedy film, directed by Bob Clark and based on the 1966 book "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash," by Jean Shepherd, with some elements from his 1971 book "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters." The film stars Melinda Dillon, Darren McGavin, and Peter Billingsley, and follows a young boy and his family's misadventures during Christmas time in December 1940. I

A Christmas Story received positive reviews from critics. Filmed partly in Canada, the film earned two Canadian Genie Awards in 1984.

Widely considered a holiday classic in the United States and Canada, it has been shown in a marathon annually on TNT since 1997 and on TBS since 2004 titled "24 Hours of A Christmas Story", consisting of 12 consecutive airings of the film from the evening of Christmas Eve to the evening of Christmas Day.

In 2012, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
