Hit The Town: A Christmas Story House Exploration (with Museum and Store features)

CLEVELAND – Few holiday traditions bring as much joy and nostalgia as A Christmas Story, the 1983 film that has charmed audiences for over four decades. Its famous house, located in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood, has become a pilgrimage site for fans, especially during the holiday season. Cleveland 13’s Nikkie Brown recently visited the Christmas Story House, Museum, and Gift Shop for her Hit The Town series, giving viewers a glimpse of what makes this attraction a must-see destination. Accompanied by tour guide Stephen Misencik, Brown began her visit at the museum across the street from the house. The museum offers an in-depth look at the film’s history, showcasing original props, costumes, and memorabilia. Misencik explained how the museum’s collection includes fan contributions from across the globe. “This is artwork from all over the world. People who are fans of the film over the last 41 years have compiled quite a bit of interest from people,” he said, gesturing to the extensive wall of fan art. Among the treasures displayed are Randy’s snowsuit, Ralphie’s cherished Red Ryder BB gun, and the chalkboard from Miss Shields’ classroom. Visitors can also view a detailed exhibit dedicated to the Little Orphan Annie decoder device, which features prominently in a memorable scene where Ralphie discovers his secret message is a commercial for Ovaltine. Misencik revealed behind-the-scenes details about the film’s production, including the surprising fact that no snow was on the ground during filming. “The crew had to create fake snow,” he said, adding that they used instant mashed potato flakes and firefighter foam to achieve the wintery setting. Brown’s next stop was the famous house itself, which served as the exterior setting for the movie. Inside, it has been meticulously restored to resemble the film’s Canadian soundstage interiors, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in Ralphie’s world. “When they first walked into the house, it really didn’t look anything like the visitor experience you’re seeing just now,” Misencik said, referencing the transformation that has taken place over the years. The house offers a walk-through experience that takes fans into the Parker family’s living room, kitchen, and bedrooms. The attention to detail is impressive, with props such as the bar of soap Ralphie used for his infamous punishment and the notepad he used to decode his “crummy commercial” message on display. Even the kitchen has been painstakingly recreated to reflect the film’s 1940s setting, down to the smallest details. Brown learned that for superfans, the house offers an even deeper connection to the film. Overnight stays are available, providing a one-of-a-kind opportunity to relive the magic of A Christmas Story. Misencik shared that the site sees nearly 100,000 visitors annually, with the holiday season drawing the largest crowds. Next, Brown visited the adjacent gift shop, where hundreds of items related to the film are available for purchase. Fans can find replicas of Ralphie’s “Pink Nightmare” bunny suit, miniature leg lamps, ornaments, and even collectible models of the Parker family home. Small-scale versions of the house, similar to those featured in the museum’s displays, are also for sale. In a lighthearted moment, Brown tried on the pink bunny suit herself and wore it throughout her tour of the house, delighting visitors and staff alike. The experience highlighted the playful and nostalgic charm that has kept A Christmas Story a cherished part of holiday celebrations for 41 years. Fans who cannot make it to Cleveland can still experience the house and museum through a popular video tour by YouTuber Jordan the Lion on his channel Daze with Jordan the Lion. The video, filmed a year ago, has garnered a variety of heartfelt comments from viewers. One user wrote, “It’s not Christmas time without watching A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation at least once 🎄👍🏻.” Another fan shared, “A Christmas Story is my absolute favorite Christmas movie. Every year I watch it on repeat since I never can get enough of it. Now watching the movie is more special thanks to you, Jordan. Learned so much from this video. Thank you!!” Fans visiting Cleveland this holiday season can look forward to special events, including appearances by Ian Petrella, who played Ralphie’s younger brother Randy, on December 20 and 21. Patty Johnson, who played the Head Elf, will also visit the gift shop on December 21. For those unable to visit, the tour video by Jordan the Lion and Cleveland 13 News provide a window into this cherished holiday destination.
