The film follows an adult Ralphie (Billingsley) in the 1970s, who returns to the house on Cleveland Street to deliver his kids a magical Christmas like the one he had growing up. Ralphie reconnects with childhood friends like Flick, Schwartz, encounters childhood bullies like Scut and reconciles the passing of his Old Man.

“Ralphie, promise me we’re going to make this a wonderful Christmas,” pleads his mother in the trailer. “That would make your father so happy.”

So begins a journey worthy of the kid who once quested after a fabled Red Ryder BB gun as Ralphie, who is now a father himself, seeks to revive the Christmas spirit for his family.

“My dad made this look so easy,” he says after a tree-trimming failure.

“That doesn’t mean it was easy,” replies his wife Sandy.
