Peter Billingsley Is NOT Sick of 'A Christmas Story'
Ralphie teamed up with Raising Cane's to bring some holiday joy to children
December 3, 2025

On Military Island in Times Square NYC today, Peter Billingsley of A Christmas Story appeared with Raising Cane’s founder Todd Graves to hype their partnership as part of an annual holiday drive to gift kids with bikes.
The restaurateur has been giving away bikes for years, and this year was no exception, offering children from the Harlem Boys & Girls Club of America what in some cases were their first-ever set of wheels.
Billingsley spoke of growing up in NYC and how much he loved his own bike, telling a story of how he and his brother rode through Central Park, got lost in the dark and used a quarter to call their dad (remember pay phones?) to get directions home.
Pretty hilariously, he was asked if he was sick of the movie by now. (Answer: Um, no.)
Because the partnership leans heavily on A Christmas Story — some of Billingsley’s personally worn and owned costumes from the 1980 classic are on display at tthe flagship store of Raising Cane’s —he also spoke about the incredible legacy of the film, which he says he and his family watch (okay, at least a little of it) every Christmas.
After their remarks, Billingsley was reunited with Santa Claus (but avoided the slide!), and then joined Graves to actually hand bikes to excited children.
They were joined by some Bravolebrities and famous faces from Bachelor Nation, sticking around a good 90 minutes in the nearly freezing weather.
Anything for a good cause!

Peter was super accessible and nice to everyone who approached, including some tourists who pounced on him as he left.
I thanked him for his work — I regret not mentioning Real People, because I was very enamored of the idea of being a kid reporter at that age — and he was happy to pose for a photo with me, too.
This partnership seems to be a match made in heaven, and is a reminder to rewatch what has to be one of the best Christmas movies of all time.⚡️











Most importantly, I am not sick of Peter Billingsley! he is still so cute!
