It’s the 40th anniversary of A Christmas Story.

Take a trip down memory lane and relive the joy of being a child at Christmas. Follow along with Ralphie Parker as he recalls the childhood Christmas he attempted to get the greatest Christmas present he would ever receive, a Red Ryder Carbine Action Air Rifle!

The iconic movie is filled to the brim with relatable childhood moments like dodging Scot Farkus, the yellow-eyed school bully, to surviving the lap of a lackluster store Santa. Tag along with Ralphie and discover what a deranged Easter bunny looks like and the answer to if tongues stick to metal poles in winter.

The movie is a clash between childhood whimsy and adult cynicism. Find out for yourself if Ralphie really gets his air rifle and if he shoots his eye out as his mother and teacher warned would happen. This is one Christmas flick that everyone should see at least once in their life!
