The event is scheduled for Saturday, December 20, 2025, with the screening set for 7:00 p.m., but the fun is starting even earlier. Guests are being encouraged to arrive by 6:00 p.m. so they can take part in a series of heartwarming, Grinch-themed activities. Holiday crafts will be available, photos with The Grinch will be offered, and the whole atmosphere is expected to feel cheerful, playful, and very much in the spirit of the season. It’s the kind of experience where memories are made even before the movie begins.
Once everyone settles in, the spotlight will turn to the live-action adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ timeless story, directed by Ron Howard. The film famously stars Jim Carrey as the grumpy green Grinch, who is determined to ruin Christmas for the joyful Whos of Whoville. Alongside his loyal dog Max, his sneaky plan to steal the holiday unfolds, but things don’t go exactly as expected. His encounter with the sweet and compassionate Cindy Lou Who slowly begins to change his outlook, reminding viewers that kindness and connection can melt even the coldest hearts. The cast also includes memorable performances from Christine Baranski, Jeffrey Tambor, Bill Irwin, and others, making it a holiday favorite that continues to resonate year after year.
Beyond the film itself, this event is also about supporting the community. The Friends of the Marysville Public Library, a volunteer-driven organization, plays a key role in making this night possible. Donations raised through their efforts help fund library programs and contribute to an endowment designed to support future generations, turning a simple night at the movies into something that gives back.
The Avalon Theatre, located on South Main Street in Marysville, will be hosting the evening, with tickets priced at $10 and optional dessert add-ons available. Overall, this Grinch-themed night isn’t just a screening, it’s a celebration of community, generosity, and the timeless message that Christmas is about more than presents.
