It’s time to turn on the Christmas movies, but instead of watching them in your living room, how about opting for the big screen and some movie theater treats?

If you’re eager to see the adorable Cindy Lou Who or have been waiting all year to follow the shenanigans of Buddy the Elf, the wait is over. Regal Cinemas is re-releasing four classic Christmas movies in theaters this year.

Through Dec. 23, Regal theaters will offer screenings on select dates of “The Polar Express”; “The Grinch (2018)”; “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation"; and "Elf,” which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

"Elf" will be back in theaters during the 2023 holiday season.
