Christmas Show: 5 Ideal Options and a Bonus for Communities
The holiday season is fast approaching, and excitement is already building among communities, businesses, associations, committees, and anyone who wants to make the public's eyes sparkle, young and old alike. We know how eagerly awaited the magic of Christmas is each year: are you also looking for THE show that will create a buzz?
1/ The magic show: the most magical option for Christmas?
Let it be said: the magic show remains a must to amaze children and adults at a Christmas event. Whether you have to organize a corporate Christmas tree, a community drone show, an event in a town hall, in a community center or in a school, a professional magician will know how to create a unique atmosphere and take everyone to wonderland.
Are you wondering what the secret is to a successful magic show? We have tested different options for you: interactive entertainment on stage, magic tricks workshop for children, or musical show mixing humor and illusion.
The audience always leaves with a smile on their face, and the famous “wow effect” does its work and you even follow the French regulations on drones.
The benefits of magic for all audiences
A Christmas magic show is guaranteed to make everyone's face light up. The magician often enlists the help of an elf or even a young spectator from the audience, provoking laughter, surprise, and sometimes even... a gift in hand! Some artists even personalize their show: themed staging, an appearance by Santa Claus, light juggling, or magic tricks with Christmas trees and magical animals.
Budget-wise, which plan should you choose?
| Type of show | Average price |
|---|---|
| Little magic show | 500 – 1,000 € |
| Great interactive show | 1,000 – 3,000 € |
The choice depends on the number of children, the location, the duration of the event, whether or not there's an outdoor magic show... and, of course, your budget. Don't hesitate to request a quote tailored to your event.
Feedback and enchanting memories
Every year, cities like Val-de-Reuil, Paris, and Nantes share their team's stories: the magician's performance on stage made a lasting impression, transforming a simple afternoon snack into an unforgettable Christmas celebration. The audience leaves amazed, sometimes with a "balloon sculpting" workshop or the distribution of gifts as a bonus. Admit it, who has never dreamed of becoming a magician's assistant for a show?
2/ The comedy duo: making Christmas rhyme with laughter and complicity
Think magic isn't enough? Why not try humor? A comedy duo is an event entertainment that everyone can agree on, from young audiences to the most serious colleagues. We all have memories of a party where a well-executed sketch lightened the atmosphere and created a bond in the room.
The benefits of a duo for your Christmas tree
The comedy duo knows how to juggle improvisation, adapt to the atmosphere, and capitalize on the audience's reactions. It's the ideal formula for a festive evening, an original show, and a tailor-made production. Humor brings people together, warms hearts and transforms the party into a collective adventure!
On the organizational side, we've seen duos offer face painting workshops, participatory games, and even a joke competition with the kids. The party then takes on a whole new dimension, where each guest becomes a key player in the event.
Rates and terms
Expect to pay between €1,500 and €5,000, depending on the artists' reputation, the length of the tour, and the region (Brittany, Normandy, Île-de-France, etc.). Event agencies often offer "all-inclusive" packages: indoor shows, outdoor entertainment, or tours to several schools and community centers. Remember to compare offers and check the availability of your favorite duo!
3/ Christmas tales: a magical adventure within reach
What if this year you offered a wonderful story, halfway between live performance, storytelling, and theater? Christmas stories are popular for their ability to transport young and old alike on an adventure where magic, tenderness, and wonder take center stage.
The art of storytelling: a turnkey show
A good storyteller knows how to captivate his audience. It relies on children's participation, using props (Christmas trees, snowmen, animated nativity scenes, etc.), puppets, songs, and magical sounds. It's the perfect show to create a gentle, warm atmosphere and strengthen the bond between generations.
Would you also like a professional storyteller to organize your company's, association's, or school's Christmas tree? Bookings are based on a quote, with turnkey packages tailored to the size of your audience and the desired theme.
4/ Puppets: a guaranteed return to childhood
For a successful show for young audiences, nothing beats puppet animation. Their visual universe, the artists' voices, the sets and the music create a suspended moment, which appeals to children and parents alike.
Why bet on the puppet?
Puppet shows are interactive, often accompanied by a creative workshop (puppet making, balloon sculpting, etc.). We love the closeness with the artist, the opportunity to stage forest animals, elves, acrobats, or even ventriloquists, depending on the theme.
5/ Photo animations: souvenirs to take away
Looking to make a lasting impression? Organize a photo shoot with Santa Claus! This moment allows each child (and adults too!) to leave with an unforgettable photo, ideal for sharing on social networks or displaying in the nursery, at home or in community premises.
To make your session a success, rely on a well-designed setting, a well-managed queue, and an enthusiastic host. Add to this a face painting workshop or a balloon sculpting booth to keep the atmosphere festive from start to finish.
Choose the Christmas show that suits you
As we've seen, Christmas shows are the key to a successful event, regardless of your audience, region, or budget. Between magic, comedy, storytelling, puppetry, and creative workshops, there's sure to be a package suited to your needs!

Our FAQ for the community Christmas show
Which community Christmas show delights the most children and families?
Nothing beats a Christmas magic show, a theatrical storytelling performance, or a festive parade led by Santa Claus and his elves! A show tailored to young audiences, combining a face painting workshop, gift giving, and music, transforms the celebration into a wonderful memory for the entire community.
How to organize a unique Christmas tree on a small budget?
Choosing a fun Christmas entertainment option, such as a puppet show, a clown, or a magician, allows you to create a warm atmosphere without breaking the budget. Simply choose the theme carefully, compare quotes, and focus on shared enjoyment rather than excess.
What animations make a Christmas show truly interactive for the audience?
The creative workshops (balloon sculpting, face painting, games), musical performances, and Santa's appearance on stage make all the difference! We love it when the artistic team invites children on stage or launches a parade through the streets, like an enchanted Christmas market.
What are the criteria for choosing a Christmas show suited to your region or community?
You have to take into account the age of the audience, the number of participants, the location (hall, school, town hall, Christmas market), the desired decor, the budget and the period!
