This Christmas, Movie House Cinemas is giving customers the chance to enjoy a festive film while helping make a difference to families in need across Northern Ireland. Cans for Christmas will see the independent cinema group host special festive screenings of Santa Claus: The Movie, with all food donations going to local food banks to help support families in the community.

On Saturday 5 December at 11.30am, all four Movie House locations – Cityside/Yorkgate, Glengormley, Maghera and the Jet Centre in Coleraine – will host a special screening of the Christmas classic Santa Claus: The Movie.

The idea is simple: bring along two or more cans of food and receive a FREE cinema ticket to enjoy the festive favourite on the big screen. It's a chance to enjoy some Christmas magic while making a meaningful contribution to local communities.

Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Online booking is not available, but customers can bring their donations to their local Movie House in advance to collect their tickets, or simply turn up on the day with their cans, subject to availability.
