Who bought Cleveland’s ‘A Christmas Story’ house? Plus, celebrate 40 years of the movie!

The iconic “A Christmas Story” house has been SOLD!

The Cleveland landmark is a major tourist attraction.

And last year, the owner stunned fans by announcing the sale of the multi-building property. (Along with Ralphie’s house, other nearby homes and property were included in the sale.)

BUT, what is unknown is who purchased the site!

The most important bit of information is this: “Operations will continue as usual during and after the transition.”

The popular movie was first released in 1983, meaning it celebrates 40 years this holiday season!

And the cast is returning to Cleveland to celebrate with fans!
