Ticket registration is now open for the 2026 Christmas concerts of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. These annual celebrations will take place at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City and will feature the Orchestra at Temple Square.
The concerts are scheduled for December 17, 18, and 19, 2026. While admission is complimentary, tickets are required and will be distributed via a random selection process. Individuals may request up to four tickets per household through the Choir's website during the registration period, which runs from November 2 through November 15. Selected individuals will be notified of their tickets by December 1. Admission is open to those eight years of age and older.
Tabernacle Choir President Michael O. Leavitt stated that the Choir's objective is to celebrate the life and birth of Jesus Christ and that music serves as a way to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas.
For those attending in person, a standby line will form in the Tabernacle on Temple Square 90 minutes before the 8 p.m. MST concert time. Additionally, a special Christmas-themed Music & the Spoken Word will be available for in-person audiences at the Conference Center on Sunday, December 20, at 9:30 a.m. Tickets for that event can be reserved via TempleSquare.org or the Temple Square App.
The holiday season will also feature several televised events. On December 17, The CW Network will air a holiday special titled The Light of Christmas, featuring the Choir along with Kristin Chenoweth, Neal McDonough, Megan Hilty, and Michael Maliakel. On December 26, CBS will air Voices of Hope, hosted by Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner, which includes performances from the Choir's benefit concert at the Hollywood Bowl recorded in June. Furthermore, PBS will air the previous year's concert, Peace on Earth: Christmas with The Tabernacle Choir, featuring Stephanie J. Block and Sebastian Arcelus, on December 14 and 24.
