“White Christmas” Sing-Alongs at Circle Cinema

I‘m sure I’ve stated it earlier than, however whereas we’ve our favourite Tulsa vacation traditions, it’s additionally enjoyable to attempt one thing new every year. For 2025, I already wrote about our first time attending Woolaroc Wonderland of Lights. And on Christmas Eve, we attended one of many “White Christmas” Sing-Alongs at Circle Cinema. I’d considered it prior to now, however wasn’t positive Joss can be on board. Now that he’s ten, I figured we’d give it a attempt. While he did appear to have a pleasant time general, because of Circle Cinema’s fabulous concessions and the enjoyable pre-movie trivia/bloopers, the movie didn’t fairly maintain his consideration all the best way to the top. Of course, every baby is completely different, and he may have been additional drained, who is aware of.

What makes these screenings particular

Circle Cinema’s “White Christmas” Sing-Alongs are a Tulsa custom for a cause. Besides being a beloved vacation traditional, Circle Cinema supplies pre-show leisure. We had been fortunate to be there on a day when Tulsa Opera was singing within the foyer. Shortly after we’d taken our seats, it was time for some trivia! Jody McIntyre, who’s in command of membership at Circle Cinema, did a beautiful job asking trivia questions (for prizes!) and filling all the things in with humorous bloopers from the movie and extra trivia tidbits. It gave the viewers one thing additional to search for when watching the movie. For instance, there’s a scene the place Vera-Ellen units down a espresso pot, and within the subsequent body, she’s magically holding it once more. Since we’d been warned about this blooper prematurely, the entire viewers chuckled once we noticed that on display screen.

After the present begins, in fact, there may be the prospect to sing together with the solid. The phrases are printed on display screen, making it straightforward even in case you don’t know the lyrics. But viewers members are additionally given props earlier than the present, that are used to work together with the movie all through. A cup – to make a toast with – a bell – to ring at specified instances – and a feather – to play with throughout “Sisters, Sisters.” And a sweet cane, only for enjoyable.

After the present, a consultant of the Sooner State Chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society (ATOS) performed Christmas carols on the organ on the entrance of the theater. Everyone was invited to remain and sing alongside in the event that they needed.

Concessions and merch

Circle Cinema’s concessions are so reasonably priced in comparison with different theaters. We acquired a small popcorn, bag of cotton sweet, bottle of water, and their “White Christmas” particular (sizzling cocoa and a cookie) for lower than $20. That is far appreciated!

Browse their reward store space for the newest “White Christmas” merch. This yr, they had been promoting these beautiful sweatshirts. I used to be tempted to purchase one however held off…for now. Definitely would make a pleasant memento in case you go along with household/associates you want a gift for.

Get tickets early

Of course, the “White Christmas” Sing-Alongs are over for the yr. But in case you learn this and are pondering you’d prefer to attend in 2026, don’t wait to get tickets as soon as they’re launched. I purchased our tickets after seeing a put up warning folks that tickets had been operating low for all remaining showtimes, excluding Christmas Eve. When I acquired our Christmas Eve tickets, there was good availability. A pair days later, they had been all gone. So sure, they’ll promote out!

All in all, we had a beautiful time, and I’d be completely happy to make this considered one of our annual traditions. If you like musicals, unimaginable dancing, nostalgia, trivia, good group spirit, and so on., you’ll take pleasure in this occasion.
