Make like Buddy the Elf and spread some Christmas cheer! 

The holidays are coming a bit early this year thanks to Movie Lot Drive-In's Christmas in July program, an outdoor activity you and Santa's helpers can't miss. From July 23–26, families can pull up to the Smith Haven Mall on Long Island for a screening of the best festive flicks around. The schedule is as follows: 

  • July 23 at 9pm: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (PG-13) 
  • July 24 at 9pm: Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (PG) 
  • July 25 at 9pm: Elf (PG)
  • July 26 at 9pm: Home Alone (PG)

"Not many people can say they’ve watched these movies from their hatchback wearing shorts," said Lauren Powers, Senior Director at Starfish Junction, the production company behind the event. "I know people will really get a kick out of this. [It's] something different, something fun to do. We’re expecting a sell-out for the entire weekend.”

Tickets are $40 per car and must be purchased in advanced. We hope you have some candy, candy canes, candy corn and syrup to celebrate the occasion. (Be sure to check out what's playing at other drive-in theaters across New York if you're still in a summer state of mind!)
