What Fans Are Saying About the Cast of A Christmas Story Christmas

If A Christmas Story was a staple in your house growing up — the pink bunny suit, the leg lamp, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” — you’re not alone. Now, decades later, A Christmas Story Christmas brings Ralphie back for the holidays, and fans are here for it.

The 2025 sequel doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it leans into what people loved about the original: heart, humor, and a little chaos.


🎬 Familiar Faces, New Laughs

This isn’t your average reboot. The cast includes a surprising number of original actors:

  • Peter Billingsley as Ralphie (yes, really!)

  • Ian Petrella as Randy

  • Scott Schwartz as Flick

  • R.D. Robb as Schwartz

  • Zack Ward as Scut Farkus — now a cop

  • Julie Hagerty steps in as Mrs. Parker

  • Erinn Hayes plays Ralphie’s wife

  • And Ralphie’s kids, played by River Drosche and Julianna Layne

Seeing so many original cast members back gives this sequel real credibility — and a big dose of nostalgia.


💬 What People Are Saying

Reviews across TikTok, Reddit, and IMDb are full of love:

“It’s nostalgic but doesn’t feel stuck in the past.”
“Funny, emotional, and way better than expected.”
“Seeing Ralphie as a dad just hits different.”

The tone is warm, a little goofy, and perfect for grown-up fans watching with their own families now.
