Played by 30 versatile performers who never miss a beat, the Marshall family welcome their guests and fill the evening with music, dance, song, and laughter, as all enjoy a delicious five-course Christmas meal in a sumptuous setting you’ll never forget. Discover why visitors come from all over the nation to attend, and why countless guests come back year after year, having found that AN AMERICAN CHRISTMAS has come to fill an irreplaceable, magical place in their own family’s holiday tradition.
