Genuinely one of the most heartwarming things we've done over the festive period in London is attend a Muppet Christmas Carol singalong at the Prince Charles Cinema.
The 1992 musical — starring Michael Caine and an array of felt shapes imbued with Dickensian charm — is, for many, the greatest adaptation of the festive novella.
Renowned for its flurry (or should that be blizzard?) of festive films this time of year, the Prince Charles always features in our roundup of yuletide movie screenings, but it's been brought to our attention by London Spy that in 2024 the cinema is screening The Muppet Christmas Carol every day in December up until Christmas Eve. Multiple times some days too, meaning you have 41 chances to see the film. As Tiny Tim sings in the movie, "every day's a gift."
FYI, some screenings are singalongs, others not (although, come on, people are going to be singing along whatever).
There are other places to catch the film this holiday season, including in the stunning Crystal Palace Subway (8 and 14 Dec) and a performance with a live orchestra at the Apollo in Hammersmith (14 Dec). To all screenings of this fuzzy-feelingest of festive films, we say: god bless, them every one!
The Muppet Christmas Carol, Prince Charles Cinema, 1-24 December 2024
