Christmas shows are a favorite tradition for many families, tourists, and theater fans alike. It’s one of the busiest seasons of the year for live theater, with performances from classic Christmas productions to ballet to arena rock. For many theatergoers, a Christmas show is a December tradition as fixed as the tree, while others might be looking for a new Christmas play or experience to take in this year. So, whether you’re keeping a tradition going or hoping to start one, this is where to find Christmas tickets for the season’s best ballets, Broadway plays, musicals, concerts, and family-friendly shows.

When is the best time to buy tickets to a Christmas show?

Typically, Christmas shows and events that fall on weekend evenings and the days right before Christmas sell the fastest, so we recommend buying tickets early if you're hoping to go to an event on one of those dates or want to get tickets for seats together for a big group. Weekday shows and early-season dates often have more seats available. If you’re buying last-minute tickets to a Christmas show, check the listings often, because new seats may be added as the event nears.
