Christmas came a little early this year, with Fox releasing their first promo for their live musical event A Christmas Story Live!
The video, a short clip that doesn’t give much away, shows all members of the Parker family, including the iconic leg lamp that has inspired thousands of recreations to appear in living rooms across America. Posing for a Christmas photo, Ralphie, played by Andy Walken, complains to his mother about his sweater, Randy exclaims his excitement for Christmas, and The Old Man Parker poses with his leg lamp.
