Christmas is coming to the Island Showroom with a little more music, a little more laughter and plenty of old-fashioned holiday spirit. The Grand Ol’ Christmas Show takes the stage at Island Resort & Casino on December 11th and 12th, 2026, for two nights of classic Christmas favorites, sketch comedy and vintage radio-show fun.
This original musical variety production blends heartfelt nostalgia with contemporary humor to create a holiday experience for music lovers, comedy fans and families alike. Tickets for The Grand Ol’ Christmas Show are $30 and are on sale now.
Broadcasting Live From N-O-E-L
Created by Will Hearn, The Grand Ol’ Christmas Show takes audiences inside a fictional live Christmas Eve broadcast from the 1225 AM N-O-E-L Radio studios.
What happens next is part concert, part comedy show and part holiday trip down memory lane. The production pairs traditional American Christmas music with original sketches, vintage radio-show flair and playful references to contemporary pop culture.
The show features Americana standouts Blue Water Highway alongside a cast of accomplished Texas artists and entertainers. Together, they bring the warmth and personality of an old-time Christmas broadcast to life onstage.
A Christmas Show for Every Generation
The Grand Ol’ Christmas Show celebrates the traditions that bring people together during the holidays without taking itself too seriously.
One moment may have you settling in for a familiar Christmas favorite. The next could deliver an unexpected joke, colorful character or modern twist on a holiday tradition. That mix of music, comedy and storytelling helps the show appeal to audiences across generations, from boomers who remember classic radio programs to younger guests experiencing the format for the first time.
Whether you come for the songs, the comedy or a new family Christmas tradition, the show offers an entertaining way to celebrate the season together. Island Showroom guests must be at least 8 years old, and ticket holders ages 8–17 must attend with an adult.
