Christmas in Wonderland is a 2007 comedy film about three children who move with their father from Los Angeles to Edmonton, Alberta, where they catch a group of counterfeiters while Christmas shopping. The film was directed by James Orr, and stars Patrick Swayze, Matthew Knight, Preston Lacy, Chris Kattan, Tim Curry and Carmen Electra. Christmas in Wonderland was exhibited theatrically in Canada in 2007, but in the United States it premiered on television in 2008 as part of ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas programming block. The film is largely set in, and was mostly filmed at, West Edmonton Mall. Secrecy before the film was announced led many Edmontonians to wonder why Christmas decorations in the mall were still in place long after the Christmas season had passed.
