🎄 What if this Christmas… instead of watching the magic on TV… you could step into it?🎄 Step Inside the Magic of A Christmas Story — LIVE!
Picture this: You’re walking through a charming little town. There’s tinsel in every window, Hot Chocolate, peppermint, and fresh locally roasted and brewed coffee in the air, and you hear it off in the distance — that familiar soundtrack of laughter, BB-gun dreams, and childhood Christmas chaos. It’s not just nostalgia… it’s real.
And it’s waiting for you.
For the first time ever, A Christmas Story Family and Classic Productions are inviting fans from all over the world to join the CAST of A Christmas Story for a magical two-day reunion experience in Grand Rivers, Kentucky, on December 19th & 20th, 2025 — and we want YOU there.
Why This Is More Than Just An Event
No matter how many times you’ve watched A Christmas Story, it never gets old. Why? Because it reminds us of who we are: kids at heart searching for magic in a world that moves too fast.
“Some men are Baptists, others Catholics; my father was an Oldsmobile man.”
If this makes you smile… you belong here with us.
This event is a love letter to that feeling.
To the families who’ve watched the marathon every year with cocoa-stained pajamas.
To the parents who still whisper, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” under their breath.
To the fans who know every line, every freeze-frame, and every spread-eagle snow angel by heart. This is your chance to live it, not just love it.
So… pack your scarves, your knick-knacks, your sense of adventure… and make your way to Kentucky this December. Let the cast wrap you in warm memories, silly stories, and a weekend you’ll treasure forever.
Why This Event Will Be Different
Since 1983, A Christmas Story has captured our hearts with Red Ryder dreams, Major Awards, bunny suits, frozen flagpoles, and the kind of chaos only the holidays (and hounds) can bring.
You've watched it. You’ve quoted it. Now… it’s time to LIVE IT.
This is more than a meet & greet. It’s a return to the world where Christmas truly felt like magic. For two unforgettable days, you’ll walk shoulder-to-shoulder with the cast, hear never-before-told stories, and make brand-new holiday memories worthy of Hohman.
🎁 What's Included
✍️ Autographs — Until Every Fan is Seen
On both Friday and Saturday starting at 10:00 AM, the cast will be signing autographs until the very last fan is taken care of. Whether you bring a leg lamp, a bunny suit, or Grandma’s VHS copy, you’ll walk away with memories in ink — and heart.
🎄 FREE Movie Viewing Sponsored by the City
As the sun sets on Saturday, Grand Rivers will host a big-screen A Christmas Story movie viewing for EVERYONE — completely free! Watch it with hundreds of fellow fans, laughing in unison at Flick’s frozen tongue, groaning at the Bumpus hounds, and cheering Ralphie on (again).
📸 Professional Photo Ops
On Saturday from 5–7 PM in the movie theater, pose with the cast for a keepsake photo worthy of your mantle (or your Christmas card). This is your chance to smile beside the very faces that helped define your holidays.
🔍 Holiday Scavenger Hunt + Giveaway
The town of Grand Rivers will also host a themed scavenger hunt throughout the weekend. Collect clues, follow holiday breadcrumbs, and if you complete it — your name gets entered into our Surprise Gift Basket Giveaway (we hear it might just be a Major Award in disguise).
And...
Step Right Up Folks...
because when you come to see the Cast of A Christmas Story in Grand Rivers this December 🎄—you’re not just coming for autographs and Red Ryder dreams. You’re stepping into a slice of small-town magic that feels like it leapt straight out of Jean Shepherd’s storytelling notebook.
✨ Just across the street from our event headquarters at the Grand Rivers Community Center (Dec. 19–20) sits a legendary wonderland known as Patti’s 1880s Settlement — and trust me, it’s not just a restaurant… it’s a time machine with gravy.
Their famous two-inch-thick pork chops, fresh-baked flowerpot bread, and mile-high meringue pies have folks driving in from three counties and arguing over who gets the last bite 🥧🐷.
And once you’ve eaten like The Old Man on turkey-day… the fun’s just getting started:
Wander a recreated 1880s village with 6 acres of gardens 🌸
Shop 9 quirky boutiques 🎁
Play mini-golf ⛳
Hunt for gems ⛏
Visit the petting zoo 🐐
Let the kids captain remote-control boats 🚤
And sip moonshine at Calvin Swine’s like grown-up Ralphie himself 🥃😉
But the real show happens at night…
🌟 During the Festival of Lights, Patti’s transforms into a glowing wonderland covered in 1.5 MILLION Christmas lights — a dazzling, quirky, small-town scene you’ll never forget. Like Hohman, Indiana… only with better desserts.
Make no mistake — this isn’t just a trip to meet the cast…
It’s a full-blown A Christmas Story holiday experience.
🎟️ Grab your tickets. Pack your stretchy pants. And prepare to make memories that’ll last long after the final “fa-ra-ra-ra-raaa…”
❤️ Our Promise:
We will laugh with you, cry festive tears with you, and stay until the last fan goes home.
Why?
Because you have kept this movie alive for over 40 years.
