Description:

Join renowned storyteller and Emmy Award winner Kyle Johnson Cherek, the former host of Wisconsin Foodie, for a fantastic chef-prepared 5-course dinner celebrating the beloved perennial holiday movie classic, A Christmas Story. Featuring untold stories about the film, and memorable movie excerpts, all paired with dinner courses that revisit many of the most memorable, charming, and hilarious moments of the movie, A Christmas Story Dinner at The Howard will prove to be an antidote to the customary holiday event and a new tradition you will want to add to the way you celebrate the season.  December 15th 

Based on the humorous writings of author Jean Shepherd, this beloved holiday movie follows the wintry exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker, who spends most of his time dodging a bully and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a "Red Ryder air rifle." 

Both warmly nostalgic and darkly humorous, A Christmas Story brings us all the joys and trepidations of a Midwestern childhood in the 1940’s.

A full cash bar will be available for additional beverages.

If you are purchasing tickets separately from your party, please indicate a “Party Name” to ensure seating with your group. We will do our best to accomodate all noted dietary restrictions.
