This year, fans can experience the magic in two unique ways.

Additionally, live orchestra performances will tour the UK from December 1 to December 14, bringing the film’s iconic score to life in stunning detail.

The Prince Charles Cinema screenings promise an unforgettable evening of festive fun. Sing-along performances allow audiences to join in with classics like “One More Sleep ‘Til Christmas” and “Bless Us All,” creating a lively atmosphere of holiday cheer. Before the movie begins, a special pre-show hosted by “Father Christmas” preps attendees for the festivities. Fans are encouraged to wear Christmas jumpers (or sweaters for U.S. readers) and embrace the holiday spirit with costumes or festive flair.
