Through dazzling costumes, familiar songs, special guests, toe-tapping numbers, and special effects, this extravaganza will kindle the holiday spirit in all of us as the magic of the season comes to life in a musical journey through seasonal favorites. This year's production features new musical numbers, including a Christmas at the beach section, an explosive gospel song, and a Broadway tap winter wonderland finale.
