Peter Billingsley, who played the Red Ryder BB Gun-obsessed Ralphie Parker in “A Christmas Story,” makes a most welcomed return to the role for the first time in nearly 40 years in “A Christmas Story Christmas.”

The original “Christmas Story,” based on the stories of Jean Shepherd, who also served as the film’s narrator, was set in 1940 and depicted a Depression-era Christmas.
