Gaylord Opryland Resort is thrilled to unveil a dazzling new addition to its celebrated holiday lineup during its 42nd annual A Country Christmas event. Making its exclusive Nashville debut, POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance brings the glitz of Broadway and the wonder of cirque together in an enchanting holiday production and experience for the entire family. This new cirque holiday spectacle will take center stage at the resort from November 25 through December 31, 2025, promising guests an unforgettable and immersive experience filled with world-class circus and magic acts, music, and awe-inspiring performances.
POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance, created by acclaimed Broadway director and producer Neil Goldberg, has captivated audiences through award-winning books, toys, animation, TV, and live entertainment experiences. “Our mission is to deliver high-quality, high-value family content to audiences around the world,” says Goldberg. “Partnering with Gaylord Opryland allows us to expand that mission through extraordinary live performances at a destination renowned for holiday programming.”
The all-new holiday stage show is based on the popular POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance storybook series and television special, which follows the whimsical journey of three best friends, Pomp, Snow, and Cirqueumstance, as they study music, magic, and circus arts at a secret university before sharing their remarkable talents and heartfelt holiday messages with the world.
The show features an extraordinary cast of 26 performers and distinctive artists from around the globe in over 100 showstopping costumes, performing breathtaking and gravity-defying circus acts, magic illusions, and musical storytelling performances with an exciting grand appearance by Santa.
Audiences will first be transported through a visually immersive POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance universe before entering the theater, where they will be surrounded by the story’s illustrations, creating the sensation of sitting inside the pages of the book while experiencing the show center stage.
Inside the universe, ticket holders will encounter an interactive holiday wonderland filled with sparkling lights, remarkable decorations, story characters, and pop-up magical performances. Glistening reindeer, colossal candy canes, towering nutcrackers, an 18-foot Gingerbread man, and more are surrounded by holiday trees and imaginative Christmas displays, creating unforgettable family memories.
"We’re thrilled to introduce the POMP, SNOW & CIRQUEumstance mesmerizing show to our guests as part of A Country Christmas at Gaylord Opryland, alongside ICE! and our beloved holiday attractions," said Tom Petrillo, General Manager of Gaylord Opryland Resort. "With this new show, we’re bringing even more magical holiday experiences to life—captivating and delighting guests of all ages."
