Christmas Cinema: Arthur Christmas

Celebrate the season at Capitol Theatre’s Christmas Cinema with Arthur Christmas: when Santa’s hi-tech operation misses one child, Arthur, Grandsanta and a rebellious elf race with an old sleigh to deliver the last present—heartwarming, funny and perfect for families.

Join us at the stunning Capitol Theatre for Christmas Cinema 2025: Arthur Christmas, part of our festive series mixing family favourites and cult classics. Ever wondered how Santa delivers billions of presents in one night? With a million combat‑style Field Elves and a vast control centre beneath the North Pole. But when that extraordinary system misses a single child, Santa’s youngest son Arthur sets out on a heartfelt, hilarious mission to put things right.

With the cantankerous Grandsanta, a rebellious elf, an old sleigh and some distinctly untrained reindeer, Arthur’s race against the clock blends laugh‑out‑loud adventure with warm holiday spirit. It’s a charming tale of family, tradition versus technology, and the true meaning of Christmas. Perfect for kids, parents, and anyone who believes no child should be left off the list. Grab the popcorn and enjoy big‑screen seasonal magic at Capitol.
