Holiday movies are my favorite, and this one looks SO good for the entire family. The Man Who Invented Christmas hits theaters November 22 and tells the magical tale of how Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol and created a tradition that’s part of our holidays to this day. I have the trailer and some images from the film below, plus a generous giveaway for my readers!
The Man Who Invented Christmas In Theaters November 22
The Man Who Invented Christmas tells of the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY), the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today.
The movie looks so good! It’s based on the true story of how this Christmas classic came to be. We watch A Christmas Carol in one version or another (there are so many versions now!) every single Christmas so I can’t see where the original story came from.
