This award-winning musical comedy is a hilarious Minnesota spoof of Charles Dickens’ classic story, “A Christmas Carol.”

It’s Christmas Eve in Bunyan Bay, Minnesota, and cantankerous bar owner Gunner Johnson gets in an argument with his wife, Clara, tells her he’s skipping Christmas, he storms out, goes snowmobiling across the lake, falls through the ice and goes into a coma. He comes back in his dream where he’s visited by folk legend, Sven Yorgensen, who plays the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Sven takes Gunner (Scrooge) on a journey similar to that in Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” only Minnesota style.

Featuring 17 Original soon-to-be Christmas Classics, including:

  • The Wheel is Turnin’ but the Hamster is Dead
  • Gramma Cut the Christmas Cheese
  • Gunner Fell Into an Ice Hole
  • I Love You More Than Football
