A Christmas Carol follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, who despises Christmas and refuses to show kindness to others. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him to change his ways or suffer a terrible fate. Throughout the night, Scrooge is taken on a journey by three spirits—the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come—who show him scenes from his life, the struggles of those around him, and the grim future that awaits if he does not change.
Moved by what he sees, Scrooge awakens on Christmas morning with a transformed heart. He embraces the holiday spirit, generously helping those in need, reconciling with his family, and showing kindness to his employee, Bob Cratchit, and Cratchit’s ailing son, Tiny Tim. His newfound joy and generosity prove that it is never too late to change, making A Christmas Carol a timeless story of redemption and the true meaning of Christmas.
