<p>Fans got their first introduction to Ralphie&#8217;s family and friends nearly 40 years ago in the film that would become a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/christmas">Christmas</a> classic — and a sequel to &#8220;A Christmas Story&#8221; will drop this year on HBO Max in November.</p>
<p>In the highly anticipated film titled &#8220;A Christmas Story Christmas,&#8221; fans will check in on &#8220;grown-up&#8221; Ralphie — played once again by Peter Billingsly — who &#8220;must deal with Christmas and all that comes with it, this time as a dad,&#8221; according to the a description from the streaming site, <a href="https://deadline.com/2022/08/hbo-max-dates-four-holiday-movies-including-sequel-a-christmas-story-christmas-1235099541/">Deadline</a> reported in a piece published Wednesday.</p>
<p>&#8220;With the same attention-to-real-life tone of the first, Ralphie reconnects with childhood friends, reconciles the passing of his Old Man and sows the seeds for the origins of the beloved holiday classic,&#8221; the film&#8217;s logline read, per <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1343552/the-a-christmas-story-sequel-finally-has-a-release-date?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&amp;utm_source=eonline&amp;utm_medium=rssfeeds&amp;utm_campaign=rss_topstories">E! News</a>,</p>
<p>It will reportedly take place in the 1970s, with Billingsly playing an adult Ralphie, bringing his family to his childhood home for the holiday, <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/a-christmas-story-sequel-peter-billingsley-1235159114/">Variety</a> reported. Erinn Hayes, Julianna Layne, River Drosche, RD Robb and Scott Schwartz along with Zack Ward and Julie Hagerty also star.</p>
<p>The new movie is directed by Clay Kaytis with producers Irwin Zwilling, Marc Toberoff, Cale Boyter, Jay Ashenfelter, Peter Billingsley and Vince Vaughn.</p>

<p>For those who might have somehow missed the original movie, the film follows a kid in the 1940s, (Ralphie) on the adventure that culminates in him getting the one Christmas gift he would die for, a Red Ryder BB rifle from Santa Claus. Through a serious of hilarious incidents, everyone from his teacher to the Santa Claus mall tells him he will &#8220;shoot his eye out&#8221; if he gets one.</p>
<p>But regardless, Santa does deliver that BB gun on Christmas morning and well, not to spoil it, but the advice he got from others about the potential risks of owning a rifle do not seem completely unwarranted.</p>
<p>Despite the cult following the legendary Christmas movie has had, it was originally considered a box office flop in 1983 when it hit the big screen, E! News noted.</p>
<p>&#8220;A Christmas Story Christmas&#8221; debuts on HBO Max November 17.</p>
