Christmas Beach Cinema 2017

Overview

Last-minute shopping, over-indulging at celebratory shindigs, and pretending not to be annoyed about receiving another pair of socks: they're each part of every Christmas. For kids and adults alike, so is many a seasonal-themed movie. If it has Santa or Christmas in the title, it's optimal viewing at this time of year.

The folks at South Bank certainly think so, and have thrown together their yearly Christmas Cinema Series brimming with merriment. These free films aren't just for families. Any Yuletide movie held under Brisbane's starry skies and on the shores of Streets Beach at this summery time of the season is perfect for, well, everyone.

Pack a picnic, bring your beach towel, and enjoy double features every night from December 15 to 23. The familiar but still festive and fun lineup includes everything from Jingle All the Way's '90s stylings to the classic treat that is Miracle on 34th Street. That's not all, with The Muppets Christmas Carol, Elf, The Polar Express, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Home Alone and more among a positively jovial and jolly selection of childhood classics gracing the waterside big screen.
