A series of Christmas classics will be shown at the Vue cinema in Worcester over the festive period.

The line-up of family-oriented films will include the new Wonka film.

The story which follows a young Willy Wonka's early adventures, will be shown throughout the festive season and into the New Year.

To celebrate the film, a new Wonka-inspired treat is being launched - a bubblegum flavoured Tango Ice Blast - to create an immersive cinema experience.

Robert Lea, head of screen content at Vue Entertainment, said: "We're screening a great selection of new films and big screen entertainment during the Christmas holidays, offering a perfect escape for some quality family time this festive season.

"With film screenings from just £2.49 online for Mini Mornings, the big screen experience at Vue is the ultimate treat for the whole family.

"Parents and children can come along, switch off and immerse themselves in great stories."

A young boy's magical journey to the North Pole is set to return to screens from December 22 in The Polar Express where he learns about bravery, friendship, and the Christmas spirit.

Families can also enjoy It's a Wonderful Life from December 22.

This classic film tells the story of George Bailey whose life falls apart on Christmas Eve, prompting intervention from his guardian angel.

The Mini Mornings screenings, which offer family films at £2.49 per ticket, will also feature Arthur Christmas in which Santa’s clumsy son gets put on a mission with St. Nick's father to give out a present they misplaced to a young girl in less than two hours.

From December 29, Paw Patrol will also form part of Vue's Mini Mornings.

Tickets for Vue's Mini Mornings can also be bought in person for £3.49.
