Due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, the Radio City Music Hall’s show has to be called off by MSG Entertainment. This is a first in the Christmas Spectacular’s history since its premiere in 1933. This year’s run was scheduled from November 6, 2020 to January 3, 2031.

In a statement, MSG Entertainment said : “We are disappointed for everyone involved with the show, as well as for the many fans who make the Christmas Spectacular a cherished part of their holiday tradition. We look forward to welcoming audiences back for the 2021 production.”
