It’s as much a holiday tradition as sitting on the lap of a department store Santa Claus or sticking your tongue to a flagpole in the winter: the annual viewing of A Christmas Story. The 1983 classic Christmas movie, about 9-year-old Ralphie’s (Peter Billingsley) quest to get a Red Ryder BB gun despite the protests of his Mother (Melinda Dillon) and his lamp-obsessed Old Man (Darren McGavin), will once again return to TBS and TNT with repeat airings in November and December. It all leads to the 24-hour Christmas Story marathon: the ultimate tribute to Ralphie’s “original, traditional, one-hundred-percent, red-blooded, two-fisted, all-American Christmas.”
Ahead, learn all the ways to watch A Christmas Story on streaming or on TV, plus where to watch the 2022 sequel, A Christmas Story Christmas, starring Billingsley as adult Ralphie.
