Do you know what classic holiday movie this narrated opening scene is from?

NARRATOR: "Hohman, Indiana. It clings precariously to the underbody of Chicago like a barnacle clings to the rotting hulk of a tramp steamer. On the far horizon, beyond the railroad yards and the great refinery tanks, lay our own mysterious, private mountain range. Dark and mysterious, cold and uninhabited, the steel mills stacked like malignant dominoes against the steel gray skies..."

Ahhh, the innocence! A Christmas Story: It's the early 40's and a nine year oldboy named Ralphie Parker just wants to convince his parents, teacher, and Santa Claus that a 'Red Ryder Range 200 Shot BB gun' really is the perfect Christmas gift! That's all he wants!

The first teaser for the "Christmas Story" sequel is here!!! But they don't show any new footage - at least not yet. It's just an extreme closeup of Peter Billingsley, as the adult Ralphie, putting on his glasses.

The movie is called "A Christmas Story Christmas", and it hits HBO Max on November 17th - and I for one, cannot wait!!

Peter Billingsley isn't the only returning cast member.  Scott Schwartz and R.D. Robb are returning as Ralphie's friends Flick and Schwartz, Ian Petrella is back as his brother Randy, and Zack Ward returns as the bully Scut Farkus.

"A Christmas Story Christmas" Follows Ralphie, who's now adult, as he returns to the house on Cleveland street to give his kids a magical Christmas like the one he had as a child, reconnecting with childhood friends, and reconciling the passing of his "Old Man."

Here is the first teaser for the sequel I will absolutely be watching!
