Christmas at Radio City

Radio City Music Hall puts on one of the classic light displays of Christmas in New York, and you have to see the decorations up close, especially that iconic tree above the theater marquee.

Radio City is also famous at Christmas for staging the traditional Christmas musical Christmas Spectacular. It's a show that has run every single year since 1933, with the exception of 2020, but that year doesn't count 😜.

If you're traveling to New York in November, December or even during the first days of January, you can catch this show, and you'll be swept up in the holiday spirit the moment it starts.

The Christmas Spectacular

Radio City Music Hall's Christmas musical, the Christmas Spectacular, stars the Rockettes, a precision dance company that dates back to the 1930s.

The Rockettes have thrilled generations of audiences at Radio City Music Hall with this show set at the North Pole, featuring more than 130 performers on stage, jaw-dropping choreography, 1,300 costumes, ice skating and Santa Claus.

Photos with Santa Claus

If you're traveling with kids, head to the theater lobby at the end of the show, because Santa will be waiting there to pose for pictures and hear their wishes 😉

Buying tickets for the Christmas show at Radio City

During the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular season there are several shows a day, and the best seats and the cheapest ones sell out fast, so it's a good idea to buy your tickets online and in advance.

Keep in mind that the morning shows are the cheapest 🙂

After your purchase you'll get an email with the tickets, which you'll need to print and show at the theater box office on the day of the show. Easy!

Prices

From $90 per person.
