Movies help us get into seasonal moods; whether that is getting scared during Halloween, getting swept up in romances during Valentine’s Day, or feeling inspired during the end of year holiday season; the perfect film can enhance the season. With the calendar flipping to December and the holiday season ramping up, it’s time to keep those holiday spirits up with some classic holiday film screenings. Here are five local theaters that will help you and your family stay in the holiday spirit all December long!
The Redford Theatre
The classic Redford Theatre is always showing classics throughout the year, and this December is no different. Starting on Saturday, December 1 they will show the likes of “Miracle on 34th Street,” “Scrooged,” “The Santa Clause,” “Home Alone,” and “It’s A Wonderful Life.” Be sure to check out their calendar to see the exact schedule.
The Michigan Theater
You will have two opportunities to see a version of the Nutcracker; the first taking place on Saturday, December 15 hosted by the Academy of Russian Classical Ballet and the Michigan Classical Ballet, and the second being a screening of the Bolshoi Theater production of The Nutcracker.

The Main Art Theatre
The Main Art Theater in downtown Royal Oak shows the latest indie hits along with fan favorite cult classics.
