Join Father Christmas and friends for a fun, festive, musical adventure to discover the wonder of Christmas – you may even get to pull a cracker with Dotty the Elf!

Following last year's sell-out performances of Santa's Christmas Wish, Honalee Media are delighted to present their next hit Santa Show this Christmas…Santa's Christmas Cracker!

Santa's Christmas Cracker is a 45 minute, interactive family show, particularly suitable for 2-8 year olds. Afterwards the adventure continues as each child gets to meet Father Christmas and receive a specially wrapped present from him – it's the most Christmassy Christmas show ever, HO-HO-HO!

Songs include festive favourites:

Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,

The Twelve Days Of Christmas, Deck The Halls,

We Wish You A Merry Christmas and many more!

"It really is the most wonderful time of the year, so it's no surprise that everyone at the North Pole is super-excited as Christmas draws near! Father Christmas is busy making toys, Dotty the Elf is decorating the Christmas tree and Dasher the Reindeer is getting presents onto his sleigh - but then they meet a lost penguin who has never even heard of Christmas… Impossible! But how to teach him all about Christmas? Dare they open the door marked For Christmas Emergencies Only? And can you help unleash the magic of Christmas by pulling one of Santa's Christmas Crackers?"

The show runs for approximately 80 minutes.
