Step Into Christmas

Step Into Christmas returns to The Fire Station on Thursday 10 December, a few weeks before the big day. It's back by popular demand after a previous run, and the venue describes it as their most magical, feel-good Christmas show of the year. This time it's coming back bigger, brighter and more festive than before, combining heartwarming ballads with upbeat festive anthems and festive visuals.

The set is built around a cast of singers, dancers and specialty acts backed by a live band, and the songs are the ones you'll recognise from any Christmas playlist. They'll be working through classics like All I Want for Christmas Is You, Last Christmas, Jingle Bell Rock, Stay Another Day, Let It Snow, White Christmas, Do They Know It's Christmas, A Winter's Tale and Merry Xmas Everybody. It's a long list of the usual suspects, so you'll know exactly what you're getting.

It's a full evening rather than a short set, and the show runs through the night, so keep that in mind if you're planning a late one. Under-14s need to be accompanied by an adult, which makes it a straightforward choice if you're taking the family along. Tickets start from £33, and the show is at The Fire Station on High Street West, Sunderland SR1 3HA. Doors open at 7:00pm, with the show starting at 7:30pm.
