About ‘A Christmas Story Christmas’

Ralphie Parker always loved Christmas, even when he was told in no uncertain terms that he wasn’t getting the coveted BB gun he wanted because he’d shoot his own eye out. But after becoming an adult and moving away from his sleepy Indiana hometown, Ralph has let the magic of the Christmas season fall by the wayside a bit.

That all changes when Ralph comes home to visit his mother. Although the Old Man has passed away, his love of the Christmas season still resonates strongly with Ralph. He decides to fall in love with Christmas again, and to celebrate the joy of it with his own wife and kids. But Ralph soon realizes that pulling off the Christmas miracles that his dad always made seem easy is anything but when the task falls to him.
