Christmas Family Ball

A festive holiday program takes over the Loews Miami Beach Hotel as the Christmas Family Ball returns with a day of theatrical performances designed for families with young children. Presented in the hotel’s grand ballroom, the event pairs a polished stage production with pre-show activities that transform the property into a seasonal village.

Each 90-minute performance unfolds as an immersive holiday tale featuring ballet, circus artists, acrobats, illusion acts, live carols and appearances by classic characters. Families are seated theater-style to keep the focus on the storytelling, choreography and visual design. One hour before each showtime, the lobby becomes an activity space with Santa’s Post Office, themed photo areas, character meet-and-greets and a selection of treats and holiday refreshments available for purchase. Every child receives a special gift as part of the experience.

Three programs are offered: an 11 a.m. performance led by Ded Moroz and Snegurochka (in Russian); a 3 p.m. performance with Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus (in English); and a sold-out 7 p.m. evening show featuring the same cast and an expanded finale with a snow-and-paper celebration. Festive attire is encouraged for all.

This event takes place Sunday, December 21 at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, with sessions at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
