This modernized adaptation of Dickins' A Christmas Carol brings deeper understanding of this classic story giving all ages the opportunity to embrace the holiday spirit in its purest form.

In Victorian London, miserly and cold-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge is visited on Christmas Eve by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him to change his ways or suffer a dreadful fate. That night, Scrooge goes on a journey through time with three spirits—the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come—each revealing truths about his life, choices, and legacy. As he witnesses the joy and goodness of those who embody the true spirit of Christmas—as well as the suffering he’s caused, and may yet cause—Scrooge’s heart begins to change. By dawn, he fully embraces compassion and reclaims the Christmas spirit he once knew.
