The Christmas Spectacular is one of the city’s most beloved holiday traditions, and has been seen by more than 69 million people since it first started in 1933. It was definitely a huge loss when the show was canceled in 2020 and further disappointing when the season got cut short in 2021, but 2022’s return couldn’t be more highly anticipated!
This year’s show will feature a reimagined “Dance of the Frost Fairies.” It will run from November 18th through January 2nd.

18 Rockettes are brand-new this season, with 17 coming from the Rockettes Conservatory, an intensive dance program studying the Rockettes style to train dancers and create an all encompassing pipeline. Height ranges have expanded from previous years to be more inclusive, now ranging from 5’5”-5’10½” for the 2022 dancers.
“There’s nothing like the Rockettes and the Christmas Spectacular to get us into the holiday spirit and make the season unforgettable,” once said James Dolan, Executive Chairman and CEO of MSG Entertainment, and we couldn’t agree more!
