Despite the presence of Bob Clark's A Christmas Story on American television during the holiday season, you rarely hear people talk about the first two sequels. It might not be the case with the upcoming A Christmas Story sequel from director Clay Kaytis, a film that seems as if it is going to tap into every bit of nostalgia that it could in order to explain its existence.

A Christmas Story Christmas tells the story of a man who returns to his childhood home to give his children the Christmas experience that defined his youth. Ian Petrella, Scott Schwartz, and R.D. Robb are all going to reprise their roles in the movie.

It feels like a sign that A Christmas Story Christmas might be exactly what it seems at first glance: an easy-to-digest nostalgia play.
