Carlton Christmas Cinema

Overview

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

The folks at the City of Melbourne certainly think so, and have put together a weekly Christmas film series brimming with merriment. These free films aren't just for families. This Yuletide cinema under Melbourne's starry skies at Argyle Square is perfect for, well, everyone.

Pack a picnic and enjoy a film each of the four Saturdays leading up to Christmas. The familiar but still festive and fun lineup includes The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Holiday and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
