The Radio City Rockettes are gearing up for their biggest holiday run yet, with the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes returning to Radio City Music Hall from November 4th, 2026, through January 4th, 2027. Madison Square Garden Entertainment has confirmed that this year’s production is expanding in a few notable ways, with 230 scheduled performances — the most ever staged at Radio City Music Hall since the Christmas Spectacular debuted back in 1933.

What’s New for the 2026 Christmas Spectacular?
This year’s production is the largest in the show’s history, with the addition of a brand-new tenth number, joining long-running favorites like “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers,” “New York at Christmas,” “12 Days of Christmas,” and “Dance of the Frost Fairies.” According to Jessica Tuttle, MSG Entertainment’s Executive Vice President of Productions, the new scene is designed to “showcase the versatility of the Rockettes while honoring the dance traditions that are foundational to their legacy.”
Alongside the new number, MSG Entertainment is rolling out new immersive technology that promises to bring audiences physically closer to the dancers’ precision work than in previous years, offering a range of vantage points throughout the theater. The Sphere Immersive Sound system, which debuted for the 2025 centennial run and uses 3D audio beamforming to deliver consistent sound regardless of where you’re seated, will remain part of the production this year as well.
What Is The Rockettes’ “Christmas Spectacular”?
Now entering its second century, the Christmas Spectacular remains one of New York’s defining holiday traditions. Founded in 1925, the Rockettes are the longest-running precision dance company in America, known for their signature Rockettes Precision Dance Technique — a blend of ballet, jazz, tap, and contemporary dance. Since the show’s 1933 premiere at Radio City, more than 73 million people have seen it.
What Are The Rockettes’ 2026-2027 Performance Dates?
The Christmas Spectacular runs November 4th, 2026, through January 4th, 2027, with 230 total performances — the most extensive schedule in the show’s 93-year history. As in past years, expect the performance frequency to ramp up as the season progresses, with daily shows becoming standard once the calendar moves deeper into November and multiple performances per day during the peak December stretch.
In conclusion, the Rockettes are set to deliver their biggest and most spectacular Christmas Spectacular yet, with new immersive technology, a brand-new tenth number, and a record-breaking 230 performances. Fans can purchase tickets now through Ticketmaster or rockettes.com, and take advantage of discounts and promotions through Vivid Seats.
