Buckhannon, WV — What began as a charming Christmas movie has now grown into one of West Virginia’s most joyful holiday traditions.

With festive lights, cheering locals, and fans traveling from around the country, Buckhannon has become home to a cinematic celebration unlike any other.

And this year, the tradition shines brighter than ever as the community prepares for the world premiere of HANK’S CHRISTMAS WISH 3: ELVIS LIVES, a magical, time-traveling Christmas adventure on December 5th, 2025 at 7:30 PM at The Event Center at Brushy Fork, 929 Brushy Fork Rd, Buckhannon, WV.

About the Film

In HANK’S CHRISTMAS WISH 3: ELVIS LIVES, a rowdy biker gang storms into town determined to ruin Christmas, Hank must dig deep and with help from his old friend Elvis, they find the courage to defend the town, reconcile his past, and rediscover his purpose.

Starring: Dean Cain (Lois & Clark, God’s Not Dead), Michael Sigler as Hank, Richard Grieco (21 Jump Street, Mobsters).

A Christmas Tradition Rooted in Meaning

Every December, Buckhannon glows just a little brighter. Streets fill with festive cheer, families gather to take part in film scenes, and cameras roll as a community comes together to bring Christmas storytelling to life.

At the heart of this tradition is Hank, a retired elf longing for peace who instead rediscovers joy, belonging, and faith because of the kindness of a small town. The message is timeless: Christmas isn’t about presents, it’s about people, connection, and compassion.

Each year, more visitors join in, more families appear in scenes, and Buckhannon transforms into a living Christmas village filled with lights, cocoa, laughter, and movie-making magic.
