A Christmas Story

Ring in the season with our annual gift of special events and free holiday classics! Hot Docs Members get first access to free tickets—available to the public Monday, November 29 at 10:00 AM.

All Ralphie Parker wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder BB gun, but dagnabbit, he’ll shoot his eye out! As a catalogue of childhood’s winter calamities, A Christmas Story captures them all: putting on so many layers to go outside you can’t put your arms down; being triple-dog-dared to stick your tongue to a flagpole (and doing it!); having to wear that awful Christmas garment gifted to you from a relative. Heartwarming and delightfully absurd, Bob Clark’s 1983 classic will bring out the child in you every time. Bonus fact: parts of the film were shot in Toronto. See if you can spot the streetcar whiz by!

Tickets: Free (Maximum of two per person)

Bring a cash gift or non-perishable food item for The Stop.
