Oldies But Goldies
Bedford Falls has its fair share of characters in this Christmas classic, but we think our Comms team would help George Bailey out in a pinch.
What is "It's A Wonderful Life"?
Urban oasis or cozy country getaway? You can have your pick when visiting Parks sites! Just like these characters do when they swap homes in this movie.
What is "The Holiday"?
Buddy from this 2003 film would feel right at home at the sugar shacks near La Mauricie NP.
What is "Elf"?
Be careful with your camping equipment when you're on holiday at our sites, or else you'll shoot -- or at least poke -- your eye out like our friend in this movie!
What is "A Christmas Story"?
We hope the trees we planted this year grow bigger and stronger than the poor little tree in this movie, but we have a feeling we'd love them just the same as these kids.
What is "A Charlie Brown Christmas"?
Santa's side gig gets him into trouble and his friends need to prove to the court that they believe in him in this tale! (This is why you should always declare your conflicts of interest...)
What is "Miracle on 34th Street"?
In this movie, the family decides to take a Christmas cruise. Maybe next year, they can do our Learn to Camp program and stay home!
What is "Christmas with the Kranks"?
In this 2007 movie, Willie the Head Elf helps Santa's brother save Christmas in his workshop just a little north of Quttinirpaaq National Park.
What is "Fred Claus"?
Reminder: Only pack in what you can pack out when visiting Parks sites, and never disturb the natural flora and fauna when you're there! Which means chopping down a tree at our places is a big no-no -- especially if you take home a wild friend with you in the process like our friend in this movie! And since we like to promote conservation, our friend may want to dial down his light usage too and be #Parksmart
What is "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"?
We think our friend in this movie would have a great time in some of our places like Nahanni National Park Reserve, but he might have trouble keeping his cool at others like Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.
What is "Frosty the Snowman"?
This movie was inspired by a memorable holiday tune, and we have a feeling that just like these characters, some of our Comms team would step in to put on a show to make things merry and bright.
What is "White Christmas"?
If any animals in our sites encountered this titular character, they would run away from his stink stank stunk!
In this 1994 movie, elf Bernard helps a divorced dad learn to be Santa and bond with his family in the process. (He may have stopped by Rouge National Urban Park while shooting this!)
What is "The Santa Clause"?
Make sure you plan ahead before you head out on an adventure at our Parks, or else you'll be stuck scrambling like Arnold in this movie!
What is "Jingle All The Way"?
We may not be able to take this magic train through all of our Parks like in this movie, but we have a feeling our visitors leave with smiles just as big.
What is "The Polar Express"?
This movie teaches us why it's a good idea to disconnect from work and share in the holiday spirit with our colleagues! Or else we may get a visit from a spooky presence to teach us a thing or two (or four).
What is "A Christmas Carol"?
A little healthy competition between teams is fun, but make sure your power grid can take the heat, or else you'll all end up with a lump of coal in your stockings.
What is "Deck the Halls"?
Hermey may be an elf by trade in this classic, but dentistry is his passion. (Maybe Parka could cheer him up!)
What is "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"?
We think if Kevin had some of our merch in his bag of tricks, he may have had an easier time thwarting the bad guys in this classic!
What is "Home Alone"?
Maybe you'll find a magic tree in one of our Parks that will whisk you away to Christmastown, like in this movie!
What is "The Nightmare Before Christmas"?
What is "Meet Me In St. Louis"?
We feel it in our fingers and in our toes... which is why we bundle up with our Parks merch! We don't have a Christmas Lobster in our office like they do in the play in this movie, but we do think the holiday spirit is all around us anyway.
What is "Love Actually"?
Elf Polly was a nanny to Santa and his sister, but she's a pretty good road trip sidekick too in this 2019 flick. (Maybe she should try an oTentik in a sequel!)
What is "Noelle"?
We don't want to debate if this is a Christmas movie or not, but John McClane would definitely make a great park warden!
What is "Die Hard"?
This Saturday Night Live veteran reminds us that there are more celebrations during the holidays than just Christmas!
What is "Eight Crazy Nights"?
