The movies — "Elf" and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" — will both be shown on Dec. 17 in the newly-renovated theatre in downtown Tuscaloosa. The upgrades to the Bama Theatre include new carpeting and seating.

The theatre will also be decorated in holiday style and concessions will be offered during both movies. JLT also said a specialty cocktail served will be served for the 7 p.m. date night movie.

All ticket sales will benefit the Junior League of Tuscaloosa’s community partners including Holt Elementary School and Tuscaloosa Angels. Funds raised will also allow the JLT to provide a free field trip for all Holt Elementary School students to see Polar Express at the Bama Theatre ahead of Christmas break.

“The League has been exploring new ideas for raising necessary funds for women and children in Tuscaloosa while also adding value to our community with a new event," JLT Executive Vice President Elizabeth Hinson. "I have loved taking my own children to Birmingham to watch holiday movies over the years, and am so excited the League is bringing that experience to Tuscaloosa this year. For anyone who has been looking forward to seeing the newly renovated Bama Theatre, this is the perfect opportunity. We hope to make this an annual event that will expand and add to the Christmas fun of downtown Tuscaloosa already created by the Tinsel Trail and Holidays on the Rivers."

Doors for the movies will open one hour before showtime and seating is general admission
