The Muppet Christmas Carol

Join us for VIFF Kids Club — our monthly family matinee series with film-inspired crafts and special concession snacks before the show! Doors open at 10:00 am for activities, with the film screening at 11:00 am.

This Month’s Film
The Muppet Christmas Carol brings Dickens’s 1843 novel to life, led by Gonzo as Dickens, Kermit and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits, and Sir Michael Caine delivering one of his very finest performances as Ebenezer Scrooge. Through visits from three Christmas ghosts, Scrooge sees the effects of his cruelty on others—and how he must change his ways before it is too late. With memorable and joyful songs, witty Muppet comedy, and a surprisingly faithful telling of the literary classic, it’s a yuletide classic for every generation.

A wonderful festive story, enchantingly told.

This Month’s Activities
Before the film gets started, kids can have fun with puppet crafts and a family photo booth, inspired by the film. A special themed snack pack including candy, small popcorn and small drink, will be available to purchase.

 

Please note: VIFF Kids Club is designed for families to attend together. Adults can only attend if they’re bringing a child, and children can only attend if accompanied by an adult

Does your family have a film idea for Kids Club? Let our staff know after the movie, or submit your idea online!

 

Content considerations: some of the ghost scenes may be scary for young children, we recommend age 7 and up for those seeing it for the first time.
