SUMMARY:Movie Night:  Christmas with the Kranks
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the great food and drinks of Barrel House Social while watching Christmas with the Kranks!   \nABOUT CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS\nFinally alone for the holidays\, Luther (Tim Allen) and Nora Krank (Jamie Lee Curtis) plan to eschew the Christmas traditions and take a cruise in the Caribbean instead. This doesn’t sit well with their Christmas-obsessed neighbors Vic Frohmeyer (Dan Aykroyd) and Walt Scheel (M. Emmet Walsh)\, who are determined to win the annual “best decorated street” competition\, and the Kranks soon find themselves social outcasts because of their lack of Christmas spirit.
