Christmas Beach Cinema

Overview

Last-minute shopping, over-indulging at celebratory shindigs, and pretending not to be annoyed about receiving another pair of socks: they're each a 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 is optimal viewing at this time of year.

The folks at South Bank certainly think so, and have thrown together their yearly Christmas Beach Cinema series brimming with festive spirit. 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 eight nights of double features ranging 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 Nightmare Before Christmas, Home Alone and more among a positively jovial and jolly selection of childhood classics gracing the waterside big screen.
