Even though Halloween is being celebrated today in most Van Wert County communities, the Niswonger is already thinking ahead to that most wonderful time of the year: Christmas. Arriving at the Niswonger to kick off the Christmas season will be “Christmas Wonderland”, a dazzling holiday spectacular that is coming to the NPAC for two shows on Saturday, November 24, at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, November 25, at 3 p.m. Presented by Ciao! MedSpa, “Christmas Wonderland” features glittering costumes, a wonderful cast, and the highest kicking chorus girls this side of the North Pole.

The entire family can start Christmas in style as Santa and his merry helpers take the audience on an unforgettable Christmas journey that includes a number of people’s favorite Christmas songs. Holiday favorites include: ‘White Christmas,”’ “Winter Wonderland,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Chestnuts Roasting By an Open Fire,” “Jingle Bells,” “Away in a Manger,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” “Let it Snow,” “Silent Night,” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” “Deck the Halls,” “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” “O Holy Night,” and many more Christmas standards.

Christmas will arrive as the wonderful cast of singers and dancers from London and New York transform the stage into a magical winter wonderland of Christmas joy. With breathtaking glittering costumes, and spectacular sets and scenery, the show parades its way through the wonder of Christmas and the excitement of the holiday season.
