Secret Santa Cinema

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear! We love to kick off the holiday season with our favorite Christmas movies. What better way to do that than in the comfort of the Alamo Drafthouse. They have become known for their infamous movie parties, this season they are taking a slightly different approach with their Secret Santa Cinema.

START NEW HOLIDAY TRADITIONS WITH FREE TREATS AND FUN SURPRISES

The Alamo Drafthouse is adding a little bundle of fun to your family and friends’ holiday tradition at Secret Santa Cinema, their celebration of the greatest holiday films ever made. Each Secret Santa Cinema ticket includes a free Santa or Elf hat filled with holiday treats and other surprises. Plus, make sure you arrive early for Alamo Drafthouse’s beloved preshow, a curated ad-free presentation of themed clips. This is such a fun, family experience. My kids and I have attended the movie parties and the Secret Santa Cinema is just as fun! We went to a showing of Elf and the kids jumped for joy at the site of their special treats and party favors. 

 

SECRET SANTA CINEMA 

Alamo Drafthouse has a lineup of seasonal classics and favorites that will be programmed for public screenings throughout November and December with a variety also available for personal theater rental. Titles include A Christmas Story, Frozen, Love Actually and many more. Select holiday favorites will be a “Secret Santa Cinema” presentation. What’s “Secret Santa Cinema”? In previous years, Alamo Drafthouse celebrated every holiday season with interactive and hosted Movie Party editions of their most beloved holiday classics. This year the theater chain is laser-focused on team and guest safety, so the singing and quoting and bubble-blowing that infused Movie Parties will stay paused for now. Instead, Alamo Drafthouse is introducing “Secret Santa Cinema”, special screenings where each attendee receives a free Santa (or Elf) hat filled with party favors, treats, and special surprises. Kids and families can share in this special Alamo Drafthouse-only experience for films like Elf, The Polar Express, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Gremlins and other holiday classics.
 
 
“We’re facing a very different holiday season this year with travel and extended family gatherings not possible for most people,” Alamo Drafthouse CEO Shelli Taylor said in a statement, “but we hope that Alamo Drafthouse can still offer a home for holiday traditions- ‘Secret Santa Cinema’ will be a memorable experience for close family and friends.”
 
So, gather your crew, don your favorite cozy holiday sweater, and join us for the best time of the year at Secret Santa Cinema. It is sure to be a jolly time for all!
