Traditional holiday moments like Silent Night/A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes are tender and touching, offering a pause for reflection amid the fun. Playful numbers like Man with the Bag and Me & Mrs. Claus keep the mood lighthearted and fun, while the grand finale—White Christmas/Happy Holiday—is a timeless Irving Berlin classic that sends audiences home humming with holiday cheer.
