Why to buy now

The City of Winter Garden presents the series, and tickets are only sold online, through the city’s TeachTix page. Seats are assigned, so the earlier you buy, the better the seat. Every movie is rated PG, and the 10 a.m. showings of Elf and The Grinch work well for younger kids.

Read the fine print first: all sales are final with no refunds, and online sales close 30 minutes after each showing starts.

The Garden Theatre is in the middle of Historic Downtown Winter Garden, so dinner on Plant Street is an easy add-on. For free things to do in town this month, see our free in Winter Garden guide.

Why We’re Hyped

Five dollars for a holiday classic on a real theater screen is hard to beat, and the morning showings are timed for kids.
