Swap the popcorn for Sno-caps while you watch Wonka, the new movie critics are calling “a winning confection” that’s being released in theaters on Dec. 15 and starring Timothée Chalamet, Hugh Grant, Sally Hawkins and many others.

If you loved the iconic and extraordinary adventures of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, then you’ll love this prequel musical following Willy as he rose from small shop chocolatier to eccentric genius and world-renowned inventor.

Kids ages 9-99 will enjoy these sweet, silly stories that sprinkle in wonder and whimsy this holiday season.

Use your golden ticket (your library card, of course) to borrow these Wonka read-alikes on the Libby app after you see the movie.
