The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas
Event details
A magical adventure for the whole family awaits as The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas flies into Storyhouse!
“Sometimes, what makes you different is what makes you special.”
Narrated by Father Christmas himself, this heartwarming story takes a closer look at the beloved tale of a very special red-nosed reindeer. When the cold-hearted Jack Frost threatens to ruin Christmas with a mighty snowstorm, one little reindeer shows that kindness and inclusion can warm even the coldest of hearts.
From the moment you arrive, the adventure begins. Step through the Naughty or Nice Scanner to discover your place on Santa’s list, bring your letters to post in Santa’s special postbox, and enjoy a festive treat from Father Christmas himself during the show.
Stunning puppetry brings Santa’s world to life in this magical festive adventure. Featuring puppetry by Little Angel Theatre Company and direction and choreography by Olivier Award-winner Nick Winston, this enchanting production promises an unforgettable Christmas experience—filled with love, laughter, and a sprinkle of magic.

As a show for young families, we completely understand that it can be hard to sit still for an hour! The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas encourages little ones to take part and enjoy the show however they wish. If you are worried that your child may get overwhelmed or need to leave, you may prefer to sit on the end of a row to allow you to leave the theatre unobtrusively.
The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas is best enjoyed for children aged 3+, but is a show for the whole family. Under our babes in arms policy, babies under the age of 12 months old can sit on your lap and do not require a ticket.
The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas will be held in our Garret Theatre, which uses unreserved, raked bench seating. You can find photos of the seating layout here.
