Whether your favorite Christmas song is Jingle BellsJoy to the World, or Silent Night, there is something special about hearing classic Christmas music performed live, and we have a list of Christmas musicals below.

Our list includes holiday plays and Christmas performances in Lakeland and across Polk County and Central Florida. These family friendly holiday concerts will get you in the Christmas spirit!

In addition to church Christmas choirs, music highlights for 2022 include Ballet Magnificat! Most Incredible Christmas, Florida Dance Theatre’s Nutcracker Ballet, Cirque Dreams Holidaze, and the annual Florida Southern and Southeastern University Christmas concerts. Christmas plays near you include Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr. at Lakeland Community Theater and Elf the Musical at Theatre Winter Haven. Full details on each of these events are below.

The Nutcracker ballet is also a popular Christmas tradition, and we can help you find a performance of the Nutcracker near you.

TIP: If you’re looking to give experiences {instead of physical gifts} this holiday season, tickets to a local performance would be a great Christmas gift!
