Scrooge is believed to be based on two different men.

Well, TBH, it’s not actually based on anything in particular. But for all its cultural impact, is A Christmas Carol a true story? It’s an old-timey ghost story with thrills, chills, and a bunch of real talk that has stood the test of time - to the point that A Christmas Carol adaptations are still being made today, including an upcoming musical comedy starring two of your favourite funny actors (more on that later). Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is one of the Yuletide’s most beloved and celebrated tales. ![]()
