Holiday Fun in Edmonton: ‘The Elf on the Shelf’ Joins Cineplex’s $3.99 Family Favourites Lineup
This holiday season, families in Edmonton can experience a little extra sparkle on the big screen. For the first time ever, The Elf on the Shelf is making its movie theatre debut as part of Cineplex’s beloved $3.99 Family Favourites program — bringing a dose of Christmas magic that’s perfect for kids (and anyone young at heart).
Cineplex Family Favourites: Elf on the Shelf
On Saturday, November 29, Edmonton moviegoers can catch The Elf on the Shelf Movie Magic – Family Favourites, featuring two heartwarming holiday films: An Elf’s Story and Santa’s St. Bernards Save Christmas. Together, they tell uplifting tales of elves, teamwork, and rediscovering the joy of the season — exactly the kind of stories that light up little faces during December.
The $3.99 ticket price makes it an affordable way to kick off the holidays, and the 11 a.m. showtime is perfect for families with younger children. Parents can enjoy a cozy morning at the movies before heading out for the rest of their weekend festivities — maybe a hot chocolate stop, a visit to a local holiday market, or some time at one of Edmonton’s skating rinks or light displays.
For kids who already have an Elf on the Shelf visiting their home, seeing those characters come to life on the big screen will feel extra magical. It’s also a fun way to start new family traditions — a special outing that ties movie magic to the wonder that fills Edmonton every winter.
Tickets are available now through Cineplex, but seats are limited, so families are encouraged to book early at their local theatre. With twinkling lights across the city, the scent of gingerbread in the air, and a few mischievous elves joining the fun, it’s the perfect time to add a little movie magic to your family’s holiday season.
