Win A Very Harold And Kumar Christmas on Blu-ray and DVD
We have 10 Blu-ray/DVD combo packs of A Very Harold And Kumar Christmas to give away to our readers in advance of the film's February 7 home video release. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer, and enter to win below.
Following years of growing apart, Harold Lee (Cho) and Kumar Patel (Penn) have replaced each other with new friends and are preparing for their respective Yuletide celebrations. But when a mysterious package mistakenly arrive at Kumar’s door on Christmas Eve, his attempts to redirect it to Harold’s house ends with the “high grade” contents – and Harold’s father-in-law’s prize Christmas tree – going up in smoke. With his in-laws out of the house for the day, Harold decides to cover his tracks, rather than come clean. Reluctantly embarking on another ill-advised journey with Kumar, through New York City, their search for the perfect replacement tree takes them through party heaven – and almost blows Christmas Eve sky high.
There will be 10 (ten) winners, each of whom will receive a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack of A Very Harold And Kumar Christmas. To enter, submit your name, address, and email here.

Win a gift card and hardcover anniversary edition of A Wrinkle In Time
In honor of the classic children's book's 50th anniversary, we have one hardcover anniversary edition of A Wrinkle In Time and a $150 Visa gift card to give away to one A.V. Club reader. Read the book's synopsis and enter to win below.
It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger.
"Wild nights are my glory," the unearthly stranger told them. "I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me sit down for a moment, and then I'll be on my way. Speaking of ways, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract."
A tesseract (in case the reader doesn't know) is a wrinkle in time. To tell more would rob the reader of the enjoyment of Miss L'Engle's unusual book. A Wrinkle in Time, winner of the Newbery Medal in 1963, is the story of the adventures in space and time of Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin O'Keefe (athlete, student, and one of the most popular boys in high school). They are in search of Meg's father, a scientist who disappeared while engaged in secret work for the government on the tesseract problem.
There will be one (1) winner, who will receive the 50th anniversary commemorative edition of A Wrinkle In Time and a $150 Visa gift card. To enter, submit your name, address, and email here.
