Are you ready to get into the festive spirit this winter? Oh yes, you are!

Manchester has two fantastic shows going ahead this Christmas and each performance is sure to create a magical experience for adults and kids alike.

Back with a star-studded cast including X Factor's Alexandra Burke, the shows promise to make up for what was missed last year as theatres closed their doors. 

Here's everything you need to know about the shows going ahead in November and December.

White Christmas

This music includes the famous festive song White Christmas, which will surely get you in a Christmassy mood. 

Straight from the West End, the journey takes the audience to a Vermouth lodge and follows the cast as they try to help an old Army General.
