A Christmas Story Christmas Plot
According to IMDB, the film is set in the 1970s where Ralphie returns to Cleveland Street to give his kids a Christmas like he remembers growing up. “With the same attention to real-life tone of the first, Ralphie reconnects with childhood friends, reconciles the passing of his Old Man and sows the seeds for the origins of the beloved holiday classic,” says the logline.
Will a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle make a cameo? We hope so.
