☃️ **Like a favourite movie scene, imagine stepping out of the cold and into the twinkling lights. The world outside may be frosty, but there’s a quiet sense of hope in the air. And honestly, the real strength and comfort come from having good friends around. May that soft glow bring you hope and guide your path.**

👋 **Happy Holidays, everyone!** 🎁 Looks like that magical season is back — the one some of us absolutely adore, and the one some of us find a little bittersweet. But that’s exactly why we do this every year: to remind ourselves that community can bring some light, warmth, and laughter into the winter months. We’ve almost made it to the end of the year, and along the way we’ve shared films and experiences, made new friends, created great memories, and turned strangers into familiar faces. So let’s meet in the middle again and close out 2025 with a cosy hangout by the river.

🦌 This is our blended Christmas social with **[Movie Roadhouse](https://www.meetup.com/movieroadhouse/events/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize)**, **[The Hideout](https://www.meetup.com/thehideoutlondon/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize)**, and the super-cool **[Ani-Mates London](https://www.meetup.com/london-motion-design-and-animation-group/?eventOrigin=your_groups)** — and you’re all invited. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, you’ll fit right in. We’re just a chilled crowd of movie fans, creators, filmmakers, animators, artists, and all-round film nerds who love hanging out and talking about the things that make life feel great.

We’ll be gathering from **4pm** at the cosy **BFI Bar & Kitchen** (Lightbox entrance), on the ground floor of **BFI Southbank**. It’s one of our favourite spots — warm, inviting, and overlooking **Waterloo Bridge** and the **River Thames**. The bar has a great selection of food and drinks, and there’s plenty of space to wander, mingle, and catch up. The reservation is under **Movie Roadhouse** — just ask any BFI bar staff to point you in the right direction and they’ll guide you over.

Let’s celebrate the Christmas season together, make some new memories, and maybe even some new friends. Having something good in common is always a perfect place to start, and the best warmth is in the company we keep.

**We’d absolutely love to see you there 🥂**
