The Muppet Christmas Carol
2023-12-08 19:00 - 20:30 | Sunset Theatre, 2357 Pooley St., Wells, BC, v0k2r0, Canada
Help us kick off the Christmas season at the Sunset with a screening of The Muppet Christmas Carol!
When: Friday December 8th @ 7PM
Tickets: $5.00
Running Time: 1 hour and 25 minutes
Rating: G
Genre: Kids & family, Holiday, Fantasy
Director: Brian Henson
The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets — Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle — weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases — past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.

Yuletide Christmas Drinks for kids and Adult Christmas Drinks for the big kids!
