A Merry Movie Christmas 2022: Live to L.I.F.T.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17 AT THE ELECTRIC THEATER–

What can attendees expect at A Merry Movie Christmas 2022? Here’s a look;

11 AM– “THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL” (FREE–DONATIONS ACCEPTED)

Bring the entire family out for a 30th-anniversary screening of what is, arguably, the strongest adaptation of the beloved Charles Dickens literary classic ever committed to film. And if you’re a fan of Dickens and the Muppets, then you know that’s saying a lot! In this spirited Christmastime gem, each of your favorite Muppets is given their chance to shine as does the iconic Michael Caine as Scrooge. A wonderful adaptation punctuated by unforgettable musical numbers.

Right after “The Muppet Christmas Carol” and right before the tribute to L.I.F.T. and the holiday edition of the Guerilla Shorts Showcase, there’ll be a very special appearance by the one and only Santa Claus. The big man himself has taken time out of his hectic schedule to stop by and visit with the little ones so be sure to bring the family out.

*”The Muppet Christmas Carol” and a special visit from Santa are FREE so bring the family out for photos. Donations accepted.

4:30 PM– “THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS” (SING-A-LONG EDITION) (FREE– DONATIONS ACCEPTED)

FMASU’s 2022 A Merry Movie Christmas special cause awareness event will close out with a special screening of “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” This stop-motion animated classic from Tim Burton and Henry Selick brings two of our most beloved holidays, together. This energetic gem of a motion picture experience finds affable (and eccentric) Jack Skellington looking to trade places with an unsuspecting Santa Claus over the course of one crazy holiday season. Adding to the excitement of this imaginative holiday gem, is that this will be the sing-a-long edition! A wonderful experience for the entire family.

*“The Nightmare Before Christmas” is free but donations are accepted.

A Merry Movie Christmas returns to The Electric Theater on Saturday, December 17. This magical cinematic celebration for all ages will celebrate aspiring filmmaking talent, the warmth of Christmas movies, and the arrival of Santa Claus but, as always, the primary goal of FMASU’s annual Yuletide event is to shed a light on a very special cause. This year, that cause is L.I.F.T. The brainchild of gifted veteran storyteller, seasoned medical professional, and dedicated mental health advocate Corbin Allred (“Saints and Soldiers”), L.I.F.T. is geared towards our youth and for all of its hefty ambitions, this vital cause looks to love, inspire, fulfill, and teach, first and foremost. What better message to spread during the holidays?
