Our $5 Family Matinee Series is brought to you in partnership with Jazams, The McCarter Theater Center, Color Me Mine Princeton and the YWCA.

About the movie: In this 1974 special, Santa Claus is on the brink of cancelling Christmas when he catches a cold. In an attempt to change his mind, Mrs. Claus sends two elves in a search for evidence that the Christmas spirit is still alive and well. This memorable holiday special features ten musical numbers, including a memorable performance by the Snow Miser!
