A beloved holiday classic reckons with the passage of time in the new trailer for A Christmas Story Christmas. The sequel to 1983’s A Christmas Story begins streaming November 17th on HBO Max.
Peter Billingsley returns as Ralphie Parker, still bespectacled but now closer to the end of his life than the beginning. After the death of his Old Man, he returns to his old Cleveland neighborhood to share Christmas with his kids and help his mother (Julie Hagerty, taking over the part from now-retired actress Melinda Dillon).
“Ralphie,” she says in the trailer, “Promise me we’re gonna make this a wonderful Christmas. That would make your father so happy.” Ralphie of course promises, but Billingsley’s narration screams, “What had I done? And now it was all up to me?”
