The Holdovers (15) - Taste Along Screening

A holiday tale with heart… and chocolate!

Join us for a very special Twixtmas tasting event featuring bespoke chocolate tasting-box pairing, with each chocolate hand-crafted by expert chocolatier Nadia to match key moments in the film

Alexander Payne – director of the much-loved wine-country road-trip film Sideways – has given us a new festive classic, perfect for the holidays. Paul Giametti plays a gruff history teacher at a New England boarding school who is forced to remain on campus over the Christmas break to mind the students with nowhere to go. Over the course of the holidays, the reluctant stragglers grow to care for each other, in this poignant but often laugh-out-loud story about loneliness, empathy and the beauty of human connection. Nominated for five Oscars and seven BAFTAs .

“Affecting without ever being treacly or sentimental and the performances are tremendous.” The Spectator

“The benefit of the Yuletide setting is that Payne has gifted us a film intended to be watched every year.” Little White Lies

Customers who purchase a ‘Chocolate Tasting Kit’ will be provided with a selection of numbered chocolates* tailored to correspond with key scenes in the film… simply wait for the number cue to be signalled from the stage by Nadia of Thinking Chocolate (www.thinkingchocolate.com), then savour the paired taste experience. To purchase, select your film tickets online for the screening on Wednesday 30th December and then add the ‘Chocolate Tasting Kit’ to your basket before check-out.

Limited Availability: The delicious handmade chocolates are made to order. We have pre-ordered 120 boxes. Make sure you book yours early to guarantee your specially curated taste-along experience.

*Note: Made with gluten-free ingredients. Some chocolates contain nuts. Produced in an environment where all allergens are present. Contact nadia@thinkingchocolate.com for further information.
