Known For
A 1,600-seat theatre on Lincoln Highway East. The 2026 Christmas Show, Winter Wonderland, runs November 3 through December 30.
2026 Christmas Show: Winter Wonderland
Winter Wonderland is American Music Theatre’s 2026 Christmas Show, an original production on the Lincoln Highway East stage. The public events feed on October 22, 2026 listed 46 performances. The first date is November 3, 2026, and the last is December 30, 2026.
It does not play every day. Dates with no performance in that feed include Mondays (November 9, 16, 23, and 30, and December 7, 14, 21, and 28), plus November 25, November 26, December 24, and December 25. Do not treat this page as the full calendar. Use the Winter Wonderland show page and the 2026 Christmas Show calendar.
The November 28, 2026 performance page lists three showtimes: 10:30 a.m., 3:00 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. That is one date, not a promise that every performance day has the same three times. The show overview says the run time is approximately two hours, including one intermission. The visitor FAQ says the Christmas Show typically runs two hours and includes a 20-minute intermission.
Tickets, seating, and access
No dollar price was published on the Christmas Show pages or in the events feed on October 22, 2026. See amtshows.com for the current price. American Music Theatre says it sells tickets only on AMTshows.com or through the box office, by phone at 800-648-4102 or in person. A local number, (717) 397-7700, is also on the contact page.
Children ages 2 and younger do not need a ticket if they will be seated on an adult’s lap. The FAQ notes that certain touring concerts may use a different policy. Children’s ticket pricing exists for the Christmas Show for ages 3–12; the pages checked did not state the dollar amount. Christmas Show tickets can be exchanged for another Christmas Show performance for a $3 per ticket fee before the original performance, and the FAQ says AMT members’ exchange fees are waived.
The venue page describes a 1,600-seat auditorium. The seating chart is on the visitor-information pages. Accessible seating is on either side of the orchestra and mezzanine. Guests who need the elevator to the balcony use the east entrance; the elevator is on the east side of the lobby.
Parking and the box office
The visitor FAQ says American Music Theatre offers all parking free of charge. For sold-out performances it recommends arriving one hour before showtime, because the lot can fill up, and says additional parking is at nearby retail lots.
Box office hours on the contact page change by season. For November and December they are listed as Monday–Saturday 9:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. and Sunday noon–4:00 p.m., with a note that holiday hours vary. Christmas Eve is 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. The box office is closed Christmas Day. January–September and October hours are different, so read the contact page if you are calling outside the Christmas run.
