Tony Award-winning actor and three-time Choir guest artist Brian Stokes Mitchell takes viewers on a nostalgic journey from Christmas past to Christmas present, exploring seldomseen areas of the Conference Center and remembering fondly some of the greatest guests and performances of the past 20 years. The program features more than 40 world-renowned guest artists and excerpts from more than 60 songs, carols, and stories celebrating the season.
This joyous musical retrospective brings the Choir's past into focus and offers a greater view of what's to come as these timeless songs remind us of the equally timeless message of hope that Christmas provides.

In celebration of what has become a beloved holiday tradition, the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square present an intimate and unprecedented look behind the curtain of their annual Christmas concert.

“Whatever we believe about the meaning of Christmas, its message is universal,” Stokes said. “The music, the stories, the singing, the dancing, and the sharing are all a reminder that the birth of Jesus Christ is about peace and goodwill for everyone.”
