Jenny Allison, marketing manager at Cinema City, said:'There really is something for everyone in this year's programme and it's probably our most Christmassy yet.

'My own personal favourite, The Muppet Christmas Carol is included, alongside less well known but equally adorable A Christmas Story, and of course it wouldn't be Christmas without the timeless classic It's A Wonderful Life.'
