Are You a Fan of A Christmas Story? Here's Your Chance to Live the Movie Magic!

Every year, I’d rewatch A Christmas Story over and over again. TBS used to air it on a 24-hour loop, and I know every line by heart. The iconic film, set in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, always brought back warm memories of the holiday season. While the town was fictional, did you know that the house featured in the movie is real—and you can visit it?

Did You Know?

Hohman, Indiana was based on the author, Jean Shepherd's hometown of Hammond, IN.
