NEW YORK (November 4, 2026) - The 2026 Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes™ kicks off today with a brand-new number and all new immersive camera technology.

The 2026 Christmas Spectacular opens today and runs through January 4, only at Radio City Music Hall. Ticketsare available now at www.rockettes.com.

The Radio City Rockettes are "ringing" in their next century with "Ring," a brand-new number featuring powerful, modern tap choreographed by Emmy Award-nominated Chloé Arnold alongside the Radio City choreography team, led by resident director and choreographer Julie Branam. This athletic, dynamic scene brings the show to ten total Rockettes numbers - the most the production has ever staged. Multiple on-stage cameras also debut this season, giving audiences a closer look at the Rockettes precision and formations throughout the show. For the first time, new perspectives from above, from the wings and from upstage appear in real time on screens flanking the stage.

Special Food & Beverage Items

Festive food and beverage offerings fill Radio City this season, including the iconic "Rockettini" - a vodka-based drink with a refreshing mix of pineapple juice, triple sec, and lime, served in a commemorative martini-style cup with a Rockette figurine as the stem. Other themed beverages include the "Frost Fairy Bellini," a prosecco-based drink splashed with blue curacao and peach and "Rudolph's Jingle," a fruity zero-proof mocktail blending lemon-lime soda and grenadine.

Radio City Music Hall serves a wide array of food - classic movie theatre popcorn in a Wooden Soldier hat bucket, festive sweet treats like cookie buckets and Wooden Soldier cake pops, and more. Stands throughout the Music Hall also offer savory snacks, gluten free and vegan options, and more.

As a special perk, SkyMiles® Members can enjoy a complimentary prosecco or a small popcorn at the Balcony Bar by Delta on the first mezzanine by showing their SkyMiles® number on the Fly Delta app. Offer is available throughout the Christmas Spectacular season.
