Your opportunity to get into a holiday spirit while watching a movie with local ties is coming on December 13th. Along with Destination Door County, the Door Community Auditorium announced on Thursday that it plans to host the Door County premiere of “A Cherry Pie Christmas,” the holiday movie that wrapped up filming earlier this year. Also operating under “A Wisconsin Christmas Pie,” the movie is about a Chicago pastry chef who returns home and meets an old flame while trying to decide between her dream job and her family’s orchard. The trailer shows familiar sights around Door County, including a cherry pie contest at the Christkindlmarket in Sister Bay. After last week’s announcement that the movie would air on the Great American Family, GFAM+, and Great American Pure Flix outlets, Destination Door County’s Jen Rogers said the excitement is building as information trickles out.
The excitement has built up to the point that the Door County Community Auditorium will also host a 1 p.m. matinee on December 14th in addition to the initial December 13th screening, which will feature the film’s producer, members of the cast and crew, and locals involved with the filming in attendance. The free tickets are available beginning on Friday. However, attendees are encouraged to donate money to the DCA to support its new facility, The Annex, that is being built across the street.
UPDATE: WE'VE GOT MOVIE SIGN!
