Jack Thorne's (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Adolescence) joyful version of A Christmas Carol returns to The Old Vic for the 2026 festive season! Directed by Matthew Warchus, this stirring and sumptuously designed production of the Charles Dickens classic takes us into the heart of Victorian London and into the austere counting offices of one Mr Ebeneezer Scrooge for a lesson in kindness he'll never forget.

When Christmas comes round this year, why not spend it warm and cosy in an Irish pub, reeling off the festive tunes with a traditional folk band in tow? An Irish Christmas brings the atmosphere and charm of Ireland to stages around the UK, with live musicians playing festive songs and Irish folk classics, sharing their stories and ushering in the Christmas cheer as only the Irish know how!

Following a critically acclaimed, sellout run at the Edinburgh Fringe, the immersive, queer-pop nightclub-come-Peter Pan musical Club NVRLND transfers to London at The Vaults in Waterloo! Directed by Steven Kunis, the production features a book by Olivier Award winner and rising star Jack Holden and choreography worthy of a club all-nighter by Ashley Nottingham. A hugely fun reimagining of Peter Pan, the show features the play taking place both on stage and in and around the audience members, as you dance in a club to a soundtrack of 2000s bangers including Britney Spears, Outkast, Rihanna and P!nk. What's more, the show operates as a fully functioning nightclub - the party starts before the show and continues long after the final curtain!

Birmingham Repertory Theatre's wildly successful live stage adaptation of Raymond Briggs' best-loved children's book marks its 29th return to the Peacock this Christmas - this time with new direction and choreography by Olivier Award-winner Will Tuckett (Into the Woods, The Nutcracker). Cemented as one of London's best Christmas traditions, this production makes use of a live orchestra, singing, and charming choreography.

Step into Christmas is a joyful show here to light up the season, getting you into the holiday spirit through festive music! With a top live band and vocalists bringing the soundtrack of the season to life, it's an evening designed to wrap you in warmth and send you away sated as the holiday season steps up!
