The Rockettes Christmas Spectacular

About this experience

Book Rockettes Christmas Spectacular tickets in New York The Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes is New York's best-loved Christmas show, and this page is where you book tickets and choose your own seats on the seat map. The season runs at Radio City Music Hall from 4 November 2026 to 4 January 2027, with several performances on most days, so you can fit the show around the rest of your trip rather than the other way round. The show lasts 90 minutes with no intermission and suits all ages, which makes it one of the easiest family plans in Midtown Manhattan. You can book up to 8 tickets in one order, and your e-tickets are sent by email. What you see at the Christmas Spectacular The Rockettes perform 10 show-stopping numbers, each built around the precision high kicks and perfectly synchronised dancing that made them famous. Christmas favourites include Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, The 12 Days of Christmas and New York at Christmas, and Santa Claus makes a special appearance along the way. The production uses enhanced stage technology, with dazzling sets and lighting on the Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall. Some scenes include confetti, pyrotechnics, smoke, intense and flashing lights, loud noises and flying drones. Most children love the effects, but keep them in mind if anyone in your group is sensitive to noise or light. The show has been a New York Christmas tradition for generations. Many families return every year, and for first-time visitors it is often the moment the city feels properly festive. Radio City Music Hall: getting there and arrival Radio City Music Hall is at 1260 6th Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) at 50th Street, right beside Rockefeller Center. The closest subway station is 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Center on the B, D, F and M lines, which brings you out a short walk from the doors. For seating, venue history and accessibility, see our Radio City Music Hall venue guide. Doors open one hour before showtime. Aim to arrive at least 30 minutes early, because arriving later may mean missing part of the performance, and December crowds around Rockefeller Center can slow you down. Keep bags small, because bags larger than 22 x 14 x 9 inches are not permitted and extra bags can delay entry. Radio City Music Hall accepts card and mobile payments only (no cash), you cannot bring your own food or drink inside, and phone use is not permitted during the show. The dress code is smart casual. Accessibility Radio City Music Hall is wheelchair accessible, with step-free access, wheelchair spaces and companion seating. Assistive listening devices, a free stroller check, and wheelchair storage with escort assistance are available, and the venue has elevators, restrooms and a bar. Children, tickets and cancellation The Christmas Spectacular is suitable for all ages and recommended for ages 2 and up. Children under 2 can sit on an adult's lap for free. Anyone aged 2 or older needs their own ticket and seat. Your e-tickets arrive by email. If you book more than 14 days ahead, they are sent about 14 days before your show date. At the entrance, show them on your phone together with a valid photo ID. These tickets cannot be cancelled, refunded or rescheduled, so check your date, showtime and number of tickets before you pay. Making a day of it? Book a Radio City Music Hall guided tour to see the building behind the show, or pair the evening with Empire State Building tickets for the city lights from above.
