Christmas won't be the same this year, but there's still just as much cheerful and celebratory Christmas music as ever, to warm your heart!

Stream a music show on Christmas Day

A "usual" festive season may have perhaps involved a night out at the theatre, cinema or concert hall, but that is out of the question in 2020. That's why this year, on Christmas Day, the entertainment comes to you, live from Ahoy arena in Rotterdam!
