The Last Christmas Party (2008) Online

A family, 122 guests, and a blizzard. What started 30 years ago as a small party for a few broke actors is now a full-blown holiday bash. This year the family is filming it. In this documentary/narrative film the cameras catch it all: a guy from Brooklyn searches for the girl of his dreams, a divorcée from Queens is on a blind date, and an East-sider would rather die (literally) than give up smoking. Find out why nothing beats New York Ciy at Christmas time. You're invited to The Last Christmas Party.

Becky constructed a light for the close-ups. It's made of clamps, a wooden dowel, gaffer's tape, an old lampshade, with a china ball rice paper casing. Debbie named it "The Panty Light" because of the lace that ran around the bottom.

The recipe for 'Goober' that the character of Denise talks about was actually invented by the actor's real life father.

The three love stories in the film were adapted from three plays written by Debbie Jones and Jeannine Jones: My Type, The Wing Man and The Marlboro Woman were the original titles.

The snow scene was shot during one of the biggest blizzards in New York City history. The shoot lasted from 9:30 PM until 4:00AM and so did the blizzard.

122 guests, not including the actors and crew, attended the actual Christmas party that was filmed.

The "ledge" Phyllis sits on was actually constructed by Jeannine using: a folding table from Staples, Styrofoam and paint from Pearl Art Supply and burlap. She covered the surface with Fleck Stone and fake snow.

The bar scene shot at Blondie's involved many, very accommodating friends, professionals, and friends of friends showing up at 7am dressed for a night out on the town.

The food provided on the set was always the same: pasta salad, bread and butter, and candy.

The whole process of making the film took exactly 2 years and involved 156 people from start to finish.
