Holidays at the movies (2022)

Just like eggnog and log cake, movies are one of those unwavering holiday traditions. It’s a time to revisit classics that have been seen a thousand times before, discover new ones and fall back into childhood by watching cartoons with the whole family. For the festive season, we’ve put together a line-up of programs that we’ve selected with great pleasure: three children’s programs, a Hollywood musical in Technicolor, a retro thriller starring an evil Santa Claus, and a special event in collaboration with the podcast Noël chez Isidore.

Past program
