  3. A Christmas Carol


A timeless story of humanity and community returns to Metropolis, adding a heartwarming twist to the cold winter season. Based on a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in 1843, intended to be a political manifesto exposing the issues surrounding poverty, the tale still pushes boundaries and touches hearts today. Frugal Ebenezer Scrooge is unkind to his employee, poor family man Bob Cratchit, despite the implication of generous spirit surrounding the holiday season. Scrooge is visited by the ghosts of his former business partner and three spirits who teach him the error of his ways.
