Now in its 19th year, this beloved local tradition is back, bigger and better than ever, with an extra performance added for 2025.
SHOW: Kiwi Kirihimete Adventure
Join Aroha, a local girl, as she helps Olaf, a visitor from Iceland, discover what makes a Kiwi Christmas truly special. Along the way, they meet Rudolf, Mrs Claus, Farmer Jo, and a cast of colourful locals who remind us that the real spirit of Christmas isn’t about snow or presents — it’s about people, kindness, and community.
This year’s show features a dazzling mix of kapa haka, dance, music, gymnastics, and aerial performances, brought to life by a large cast of local young people and community groups, supported by professional directors and choreographers.
With more than 100 performers and crew involved, the 2025 Queenstown Christmas Show promises to be a magical celebration for the whole family.
