A New York City Christmas tradition
The Christmas Spectacular has been a New York City holiday tradition since it premiered in 1933. Every year, thousands of visitors head to the historic Radio City Music Hall to experience a show that has become one of the city’s must-see holiday attractions.
The approximately 90-minute performance features the famous Rockettes, Christmas music, spectacular sets, and scenes that combine classic holiday traditions with modern stage production.
One of the most recognizable numbers is “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” a Rockettes classic that has been part of the show’s history for generations.
Christmas Spectacular 2026 dates
The 2026 season runs from November 4, 2026 through January 4, 2027 at Radio City Music Hall.
With 230 performances scheduled, there are plenty of opportunities to find a date and time that fits your New York City itinerary.
The show lasts approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
Where is the Christmas Spectacular?
The show takes place at the historic Radio City Music Hall, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Rockefeller Center.
Radio City Music Hall
1260 6th Avenue
New York, NY 10020
Its central location makes it easy to combine the show with some of New York City’s most famous holiday attractions, including Rockefeller Center, the Christmas Tree, the ice-skating rink, Fifth Avenue, and Times Square.
Christmas Spectacular tickets
Tickets for the 2026 Christmas Spectacular are available for purchase. Prices can vary considerably depending on the date, performance time, and seat location, so it’s worth comparing the available options before booking.
If you’re visiting New York around Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, or a weekend, booking in advance is highly recommended, as these performances tend to be especially popular.
You can check available dates and purchase tickets through the official Rockettes website.
Tips for seeing the Rockettes
Book in advance. Holiday performances and the most popular time slots can sell out quickly.
Arrive early. Doors open approximately one hour before the performance, so arriving early gives you plenty of time to go through security and find your seats without rushing.
Combine it with Rockefeller Center. Radio City Music Hall is just steps away from some of New York City’s most famous holiday sights, making it easy to plan several attractions around the same visit.
Check your seats carefully. Visibility can vary depending on the section. The official Rockettes website provides a theater seating map so you can check the different sections before purchasing your tickets.
One of the best Christmas experiences in New York City
If you’re visiting New York City during November or December, the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes is one of the experiences worth adding to your itinerary.
The combination of the spectacular show, the historic Radio City Music Hall, and the festive atmosphere around Rockefeller Center makes this a memorable experience for families, couples, and first-time visitors to New York.
And in 2026, the season will be particularly special, with a record 230 performances and 10 Rockettes numbers bringing the holiday spirit to the Radio City stage.
