Peppa Pig's Best Day Ever

Family Shows playing this Christmas 2022 in London Theatres

Check out the best family shows playing in the West End this Christmas 2022.

Taking kids to see a West End show at Christmas is pretty much what the holiday season is all about! And London Theatre delivers in stocking loads this year, with a wide range of Christmas Shows.

Shows include the return of Elf The Musical at the Dominion Theatre; pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk at the London Palladium; and much more.

There are also all of the musicals running in the West End suitable for children, including Disney’s The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre; Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward Theatre; Matilda the Musical at the Cambridge Theatre; and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new musical reimagining of Cinderella at the Gillian Lynne Theatre.

Note: we have taken the “Christmas season” as running from mid November to mid January.
