Get into the holiday spirit with a special screening of the beloved Christmas classic A Christmas Story at The Alcazar Theatre in Carpinteria, just south of Santa Barbara!

Set in the 1940s, this heartwarming holiday comedy follows young Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) as he dreams of receiving the ultimate Christmas gift: a Red Ryder BB gun. Between dodging the neighborhood bully, navigating life with his cranky father (Darren McGavin) and finding comfort in his loving mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie faces a series of hilarious misadventures on his quest for the perfect Christmas.

Based on the humorous writings of Jean Shepherd, A Christmas Story is a nostalgic holiday favorite filled with memorable moments, family antics and plenty of Christmas cheer.
