Watch in Cinema

Tickets: FREE

Presented in partnership with Turtles.


Turtles - This season bring the magic of holiday movies together with the joy of taking it slow with Turtles. Turtles is offering free tickets and snacks so you can reclaim the tradtion of catching a classic holiday movie at your local cinema.

The cherished holiday tradition of seeing classic films in theatres is largely lost with 98% of Canadian film viewing now happening at home. This shift has eroded the shared joy of moviegoing and critically hurt independent theatres, which rely on the seasonal boost from holiday features to remain vital community landmarks.

This December, Turtles, the Canadian chocolate tradition built on slowing down to enjoy life's sweet moments, is stepping in to help Ontarians rediscover community traditions.

Turtles is hosting a special complimentary screening of Home Alone at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema in Toronto.

On Friday, December 19, at 8:30 pm, the community is invited to enjoy a shared moment of holiday joy. Trade your streaming session for a cinema seat to watch the classic film, complete with complimentary popcorn and Turtles' signature treats.

Guests are encouraged to grab their free tickets soon and start a new, delicious holiday tradition.


About the film

All Kevin McCallister wants for Christmas is for his family to disappear. So when he wakes to discover that they have accidentally left for their Christmas trip without him and that his wish has come true, he does what any kid would do—he parties! But when he learns that two burglars with a Christmas list of their own are working their way up the block, he is forced to defend the family home on his own and sets about decking the halls with ingenious traps to hold the thieves at bay until his relatives come home.
