The main New Year's show of 2026: In the heart of the country, on the Kremlin stage!
A visit to the Kremlin Christmas Tree is a truly immersive experience, one that begins long before entering the auditorium. The palace foyer, decorated for the holiday, transforms into a fairytale kingdom, where children are greeted by characters from their favorite fairy tales. Before the main performance, young guests can enjoy a rich interactive program with games, quizzes, and fun contests. These 45 minutes allow every child to become an active participant in the New Year's celebration.
The celebration culminates with a spectacular musical show on the country's main stage. Each year, the best Russian directors, screenwriters, and artists create a completely new and unique story. The plot is kept secret until the show itself, maintaining the suspense. Guests are invariably amazed by the magnificent decorations, luxurious costumes, captivating plot, and, of course, the grand appearance of the holiday's main characters – Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.
For more than 80 years, the Kremlin Christmas tree has become a symbol of the highest quality and has won the hearts of millions. Families from all over Russia flock to this event. The holiday unites generations: parents nostalgically recall their childhood encounters with the Kremlin miracle.
This year, children will ring in the New Year to the sounds of the most New Year's work – P.I. Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" performed by the Kremlin Ballet. The New Year's performance will run from December 23 to January 8.
Give your child a dream come true – a visit to the country's main Christmas tree, which will fill their heart with faith in miracles and leave warm memories for years to come. Tickets for the 2026 Kremlin Christmas Tree can be purchased on our website.
