A Tacoma Christmas Story

Flicker: A Tacoma Christmas Story is a 40-minute interactive holiday film that follows Trixie (played by Jaci Terjeson), an elf on assignment in Tacoma, as she sets out to restore the city’s holiday spirit when a glitch in the “Self Storage” sign keeps the “S” from going dark, spoiling the city’s cherished “Elf Storage” display. Guided by a mysterious glowing book, her search leads through real Tacoma landmarks, local businesses, and unexpected encounters. Festive, whimsical, and rooted in Tacoma’s grit, the film blends heartfelt storytelling, quirky humor, and nostalgic family charm. Beyond the screen, it is a community celebration and a love letter to Tacoma, made to bring people together like a timeless holiday tradition.

Made for Tacoma and for everyone who loves a little holiday magic, Flicker is a film that invites the audience to play along. Throughout the story, the film draws the audience in with moments that invite laughter, curiosity, and participation through interactive clues, sing-alongs, and shared moments that make everyone part of the adventure. An experience that brings people together and celebrates the heart of Tacoma.
