8. The Christmas Story: A Pandemic Pageant

                                           
 The Christmas Story: A Pandemic Pageant returns to your screen this holiday season, streaming on demand from December 1, 2021, until January 6, 2022. Access is by donation via www.thechristmasstory.ca   The Christmas Story at the Church of the Holy Trinity has long been a holiday tradition. When the pandemic shut down live theatre in 2020, the cast of The Christmas Story took to the streets of Toronto to create a one-of-a-kind "Pandemic Pageant". This remarkable film presents the classic Nativity story against the backdrop of life in an urban centre in the middle of a pandemic.
