A Christmas Story Christmas follows as a now-adult Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) returns to his childhood home with his heart set on giving his own children the kind of unforgettable holiday experience that defined his youth. Along with Billingsley, Ian Petrella, Zack Ward, Scott Schwartz, and R.D. Robb are all set to reprise their roles as Randy Parker, Scut Farkus, Flick, and Schwartz, respectively.
I have loved the original since I saw it in the theater as a kid back in '83. Such a classic.... the leg lamp in the "fragile" box, the Bumpas hounds, Fa-Ra-Ra-Ra-Ra, Ra Ra Ra Ra, "You'll Shoot your Eye Out, Kid", Scott Farkus the bully, triple-dog-daring, the tongue on the frozen pole....

Hope they don't screw this up!! Premiers on HBO Nov. 17

This seems appropriate from the teaser...

This is actually the 8th (!) film in the series, but everyone really only knows A Christmas Story.

Matt Dillon, Jerry O'Connell, and Kieran Culkin have all played Ralphie.

Should've gone with an all female cast.
Let's go, Brandon!

That Ho Ho Ho will never not make me laugh.

It's one of the few movies I loved as a kid as did my kids love.

Can't wait.

And the final scene is one of the funniest in movie history.

The original is my favorite Christmas movie. I am really hoping they don't jack this up.

I've said it once, I'll say it again. The mom in the original was low-key hot.

It's so weird being older than her character now.

She's not in the new movie. I wonder why?

I'm not sure this movie sucks completely, but I do want to say it just to troll those who love it. I don't get it though.

I wonder if it has to do with how old you were when you first saw it.

My wife saw it for the first time as an adult and doesn't get it.

This is probably one of those gen x/millennial divides.

Hate it when it's on during Christmas season

The original is literally one of the greatest movies of all time.

That said, I have little hope that this one will be worth watching.

Fun fact… I know the guy who played Schwartz, and have never had a single conversation with him about being in this movie.

But you've talked to him about his porn career?

Oh never mind, it's the actor Schwartz that was in porn.

I actually read your post first and thought to myself 'Wait which poster thinks the original is overrated? Oh that tracks."

No, I already posted about this. It's the actor Scotty Schwartz, A Christmas Story, Kidco, The Toy, who was in porn.

Not the actor RD Robb who played Schwartz.

R.D. Robb? He was in a really funny movie (or at least I remember it that way) called Eight Days A Week (with Kerri Russell back in the day... i think you either get to see her boobs or a body double....and his character was obsessed with sex-toys and jerkin off. (Dildonics).

He was also in the documentary i watched about Don's Plum directing it...seemed to have a pretty good career going until he got caught up in that whole mess and essentially blackballed.

Yeah, he's a producer now. I don't know him well, but one of my good friends works with him.

So the original was set in 1940, but released in 1983. If you released this reboot in 2026, but set it in 1983, the time difference would be the same (43 years).
