Review: CHRISTMAS BY CANDLELIGHT at The Candlelight Theatre
by Rosanne DellAversano - November 25, 2025

It’s very easy to become a Grinch. Hang on! What you really need is to slow down and take time for yourself. Have a little fun. And it just so happens, there’s a little dinner theater in Arden, Delaware full of elves just waiting to serve up a platter full of holiday cheer just for you.

I still believed. I was mesmerized. Each Christmas Day for many years I looked forward to it. That movie made it difficult to disbelieve.
