Holiday Channel Christmas Movie Wonderthon at Visit Natchez | Events

Each December, the Natchez Little Theatre comes alive with a festive event unlike any other in Mississippi’s historic river city. From December 11th to 14th, Visit Natchez invites visitors and locals alike to experience The Holiday Channel Christmas Movie Wonderthon, a four-day marathon of six original holiday rom-com parodies set in the fictional town of Hopewood Falls, Vermont. While the setting may be far from the lush landscapes of Natchez, the theatre event offers a distinct blend of cozy winter charm and infectious holiday cheer that makes it a unique seasonal highlight.

Set against the backdrop of a small town with quirky characters and delightfully absurd plots, the Wonderthon shines by tipping its hat to the clichés and tropes of holiday TV movies. Audiences can expect everything from mistaken identities and meet-cutes under mistletoe to scheming city slickers threatening idyllic Christmas farms. This rare blend of self-aware humor and heartfelt storytelling is an invitation to gather friends, clutch a warm cup of hot chocolate, and embrace the silliness of the season.

Located at 319 Linton Avenue, the Natchez Little Theatre itself is a cultural cornerstone in this area, known for supporting local arts with a welcoming, community-minded approach. As winter chills settle over Natchez, this event transforms the theatre into a cozy refuge where laughter and holiday spirit take center stage.

Though the Wonderthon echoes Vermont’s snow-covered charm, the event taps into the universal desire for connection and joy during the holidays, making it a standout occasion in Natchez’s winter calendar. For attendees ready to swap typical outdoor adventures for an immersive theatrical romp, this weekend-long celebration offers warmth, fun, and a fresh take on seasonal storytelling in the heart of Mississippi.
