More about this place
Radio City Christmas Spectacular is New York’s maximalist holiday stage tradition, built around the Rockettes’ precision choreography, vast Art Deco theater, seasonal tableaux, and family-scale spectacle.
The 90-minute production moves quickly through signature numbers such as the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, Santa scenes, and the Living Nativity, with multiple daily performances making it easy to fit around Midtown sightseeing. Mezzanine seats often give the clearest view of formations and stage-wide effects.
The 2026 season runs November 4 through January 4 with 230 performances. Prices are dynamic, all sales are final, and desirable weekend or holiday seats should be booked well ahead; children under two may sit on an adult’s lap without their own seat.

Compare a matinee with an evening performance before deciding how much to spend. If you also want the nearby holiday lights, a suitable afternoon show can leave your evening free for them without assuming the later ticket is better value.
