A Christmas Carol 2026 Performance Schedule
A Christmas Carol is making its magical return this holiday season! Get ready to see why Charles Dickens’ timeless classic has charmed families for over a century. A tale of human kindness, redemption, belief, and the power of family, you’ll fall in love with this beloved story in the winter of 2026.
With productions taking the stage in dozens of cities including Costa Mesa, Aurora, Port Jefferson, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston and more, A Christmas Carol is a heartwarming tale for the holidays. However, it doesn’t exactly start out that way. Some may be familiar with the central character, Ebenezer Scrooge, a grouchy old man who hates everything about Christmas. He makes his distaste for the holiday very clear, which begins to have a painful effect on all those around him. That is, until a few supernatural forces come out to play.
On Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. Each spirit forces him to confront uncomfortable truths about his life, with the final visitor delivering the most frightening reality check of all. Scrooge begins to open his heart and undergo a significant transformation, abandoning his selfish ways to rediscover compassion, warmth, and love. AKA, all the most important things to bask in during the Christmas season.
“Bah, Humbug!” Scrooge’s infamous battle cry has been passed down through generations. Many know it from watching The Muppet Christmas Carol, which became a holiday tradition way back in 1992. Others may have watched one of many TV specials based on Dickens’ festive tale, while a handful have already made a point to see A Christmas Carol onstage every year.
There’s also the upcoming film Ebenezer, scheduled for release on November 13, 2026, in which Johnny Depp is set to put his own spin on the iconic character. If you know anything about the man who once played Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, and the Mad Hatter, you understand that he makes every role his own…and we’re especially curious to see what he’ll do with one of literature’s most famously miserable characters. Regardless of how this story fits into your holiday plans, you’ll become enchanted after seeing a stage adaptation of this timeless classic.
Ghostly visitors, second chances, and enough Christmas spirit to melt even Scrooge’s heart are waiting for you this holiday season. See why A Christmas Carol has remained a favorite for nearly two centuries, and get your tickets to a 2026 performance today!
