Meli invites the Warrnambool community to open their hearts this Christmas by coming together to enjoy the magical film “A Boy Called Christmas”.

In this origin story of Santa, an ordinary young boy called Nikolas sets out on an extraordinary adventure into the snowy north in search of his father who is on a quest to discover the fabled village of the elves, Elfhelm.

Taking with him a headstrong reindeer called Blitzen and a loyal pet mouse, Nikolas soon meets his destiny in this magical, comic, and endearing story that proves that nothing is impossible.

Starring Henry Lawfull as Nikolas, comedian Kristen Wiig and Harry Potter’s Jim Broadbent and the late Maggie Smith, A Boy Called Christmas is the perfect pre-holidays activity for the family.

In a special movie event, people are encouraged to dress in Christmas costume for a chance to win spot prizes.

Ticket price includes yummy movie snacks. All funds raised will support local families in need, who receive Meli services, to have a magical Christmas.

All donations and proceeds from this event will directly support local families and individuals receiving services at Meli's Warrnambool office.

As the cost-of-living crisis deepens, we’re seeing more families than ever before seeking assistance—many for the first time.

All donations and profits from ticket sales will be converted into e-gift cards and distributed to those who we support, allowing them to experience the joy of Christmas with dignity and choice.
