New York City’s famed holiday tradition has announced this year’s run.
Radio City Music Hall’s 2025 Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes will take place November 6-January 4, 2026.
This year’s edition marks the 100th anniversary of the Rockettes. Attendees will have access to unique onsite activation that celebrate the group’s history, as well as exclusive merchandise.
Founded in 1925, the Rockettes are the longest-running precision dance company in America. The Christmas Spectacular first opened at Radio City in 1933 and has played to over 70 million people from around the world.
This year’s staging will blend classic numbers with innovative technology that will extend the show beyond the stage, including digital projections, and even “Frost Fairy” drones that will fly over the audience. In 2024, the production introduced cutting-edge holographic technology in a new scene starring Santa Claus and set to the holiday classic “We Need A Little Christmas.” Paired with the digital projections, the holographic animations in this scene immerse audiences in holiday wonder while referencing classic Rockettes numbers with images of a double decker bus, wooden solders, rag dolls, and more.
