Step into the most elegant room in Modesto this holiday season. On December 6th, join us for an unforgettable afternoon — an intimate meet-and-greet with Mr. and Mrs. Claus themselves, set against a glittering lobby of treats, twinkling lights, and holiday warmth, followed by a screening of the beloved classic, Elf. It's an afternoon of old-world charm and modern magic — tickets are $100, and they won't last.
Elf:
Buddy (Will Ferrell) was accidentally transported to the North Pole as a toddler and raised to adulthood among Santa's elves. Unable to shake the feeling that he doesn't fit in, the adult Buddy travels to New York, in full elf uniform, in search of his real father. As it happens, this is Walter Hobbs (James Caan), a cynical businessman. After a DNA test proves this, Walter reluctantly attempts to start a relationship with the childlike Buddy with increasingly chaotic results.
Festivities at 1; film at 2 p.m.
