Trailer for the continuation of the Christmas story

CLEVELAND (WJW) — We now have our first look at “A Christmas Story Christmas,” the sequel to the Christmas classic, which is out next month.

HBO Max released the new teaser trailer on Monday. It pays homage to the 1983 Christmas classic, featuring the legendary home where Ralphie, played by Peter Billingsley, grew up. Even the “fragile” leg lamp, or what’s left of it, makes an appearance.

Audio clips from the original film play in the background and we get our first glimpse of Billingsley reprising his role.

The sequel follows an adult Ralphie in the 1970s who returns to his home on Cleveland Street to give his children a magical childhood Christmas.

“A Christmas Story Christmas” premieres November 17 on HBO Max.

Several other actors will reprise their roles in the sequel, including Ian Petrella (Randy Parker), Zack Ward (Scut Farkus), Scott Schwartz (Flick) and RD Robb (Schwartz).

Clay Kaytis, who created Netflix’s The Christmas Chronicles, will direct the Legendary and Warner Bros. sequel.

Much of the original film was shot in Cleveland, and the A Christmas Story home in Tremont has become a popular tourist attraction over the years.
