 Get into the spirit of the season at the Senate Theater with two animated Christmas classics from Rankin/Bass productions, the studio that brought you Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! This matinee event will be free for anyone 12 and under. Children of all ages can expect to encounter a very special—and jolly—guest who would love to hear what you want under your Christmas tree this year! 

We’re excited to share in the holiday magic with you. These two films about rediscovering the power of generosity and the joy of believing, (plus a very sensitive Santa Claus) will equally delight nostalgia seekers, animation lovers, and children of all ages.  

You and your family don’t want to miss these classic and original Christmas songs, the signature  
“animagic” style, and especially the one-of-a-kind strangeness of Heat Miser and Snow Miser, troll-like keepers of the elements.  

See you at the Senate!  And don’t forget to bring your Christmas cheer. Santa Claus is counting on you! 

Parking is available in our gated lot, on Gilbert, and Michigan Avenue
