Christmas in London in September 2026

Ring in the festive season and get tickets to Christmas shows in London, along with theatre celebrating even more holidays. West End festive shows attract thousands of theatregoers each year, featuring timeless ballets like The Nutcracker and holiday-themed operas. And of course, you’re always guaranteed to find at least one version of A Christmas Carol on a London stage.

There are new West End and Off-West End festive productions each year, celebrating not only Christmas but also Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and more. Many holiday plays and musicals simply capture the joyful spirit of the winter season and its unique magic. Other West End shows may not be holiday-specific but feature scenes set during the festive period, bringing a seasonal flair all their own. All these productions are worth celebrating — perfect for sharing with family and friends to get into the holiday spirit together — and they make wonderful gifts for everyone on your list.

Like the festive season itself, most holiday and Christmas shows in London finish in early January, so ’tis the season to book your tickets while you can. Discover all the holiday theatre London has to offer this year, and buy tickets now on London Theatre.
