Christmas Eve in Leeds 2026

Many of us have Christmas Eve traditions to warm us up for the big day. Whether it’s opening a small present, watching Christmas movies or eating a special dinner, we love our traditions as they get us in the Christmas spirit. So why not add a new tradition into the mix for more festive fun? 

Festive theatre performances and pantomimes are a great way to get jolly with the family before Christmas arrives. And meals out are perfect too as, let’s be honest, you’re probably already sick of cooking just by thinking about Christmas dinner. Or you could meet up with your friends for one last outing together before returning home to your family for Christmas.
