Every Christmas season, viewers receive a smorgasbord of festive films. The most wonderful time of the year turns into a battle between television networks and streaming services to obtain the most viewership numbers and even increase revenue. Though one company has joined the competition in 2025. Earlier this month, the international entertainment center, Chuck E. Cheese, released a trailer for their new Christmas movie. Titled A Chuck E. Cheese Christmas, the film will premiere on Thanksgiving (November 27^th). Viewers can watch the film either on Chuck E. Cheese’s official Youtube channel or Amazon Prime Video. According to the movie’s IMDB page, A Chuck E. Cheese Christmas is about the following:

“Chuck E. Cheese and his friends has plan a surprise Christmas party for Santa Claus, who is always exhausted from working on Christmas Eve. Their celebration also serves to save their town from a holiday-hating villain”.

I’ve said before on 18 Cinema Lane how I don’t receive many opportunities to cover animated films on my blog. Based on what I’ve been hearing about the animation side of the movie industry, it seems like there’s a lot of uncertainty. So, when I discovered the trailer for A Chuck E. Cheese Christmas, I was pleasantly surprised by this piece of movie news, especially since the project is presented in what looks like 2-D animation! It also seems like, within the past five years, Chuck E. Cheese (as a company) has made decisions to help maintain their relevancy. This summer, Chuck’s Arcade (a version of Chuck E. Cheese’s that only feature arcade games) opened in ten malls in the United States. While conducting research for this Word on the Street story, I discovered A Chuck E. Cheese Christmas is not the first time the company has created a movie, let alone a Christmas film. Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000 is a straight-to-video presentation that was released in 1999. A decade prior, in 1983, The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t premiered as a television film back when the company was known as Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatre.

What are your thoughts on this piece of movie news? Will you consider checking out A Chuck E. Cheese Christmas? Let me know in the comment section!

Have fun at the movies!
