The newest installment of the Christmas Story franchise is set to make its debut this month and has just released the official trailer. A Christmas Story Christmas will be available for streaming starting November 17th on HBO Max and features much of the same cast as the original film from 1983. Peter Billingsley returns as Ralphie Parker along with R.D. Robb as Schwartz and Scott Schwartz as Flick. Zack Ward is also back as Scut Farkus. The new trailer is featured below.
The film will be without Darren McGavin, who played Ralphie’s “Old Man”. McGavin passed away in 2006. Melinda Dillon – who played Ralphie’s mother – has been recast and will be portrayed by Julie Hagerty (Airplane!).
