The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas
Fri 19th – Wed 24th December 2025
A magical adventure for the whole family awaits as The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas flies into Skipton!
“Sometimes, what makes you different is what makes you special.”
Narrated by Father Christmas himself, this touching story takes a closer look at the beloved tale of a very special Red-Nosed Reindeer. When a cold-hearted villain named Jack Frost threatens to ruin Christmas with a massive snowstorm, this special little reindeer shows everyone that kindness and inclusion can warm even the coldest hearts.
From the moment you arrive, the adventure begins – passing through the Naughty or Nice Scanner to discover your place on Santa’s list. Bring your letters for Santa and drop them into his special Postbox while he’s in town, and as a little added extra, Santa himself will have some delicious treats for you to enjoy during the show.
Featuring incredible puppetry by Matthew Forbes, Associate Puppetry Director for the National Theatre’s War Horse, this production offers a visual feast that is as captivating as the story itself. The stunning puppets bring Santa’s world to life, making this a truly unforgettable Christmas experience like no other. With a sprinkle of magic, lots of love, and plenty of laughter, this family show is the perfect festive treat.
