Classic Christmas movie scores and magical soundtracks are packed into this concert of holiday cheer, as exciting as the smell of a pine tree, overstuffed stockings and seeing Santa’s sooty footprints by the chimney.
With music from It’s a Wonderful Life, Home Alone, Elf, The Polar Express and more, there’s something from all the family’s favourite festive films. All enchantingly entwined with pieces from other hits of the silver screen like E.T., Harry Potter and Frozen. Celebrate Christmas just like they do in the movies!
