Get Ready for "Christmas with the Crackers!"

3rd Dec 2025

Proudly presented by our P6 and P7 children, supported by our P5 choir.

It’s time to dust off your Santa hats and get into the festive spirit! Our P5-7 pupils have been working very hard over the past few weeks to bring you this year’s Christmas spectacular: Christmas with the Crackers.

We promise an evening of laughter, songs and plenty of festive fun, all while raising vital funds for our school.

What’s the story?

Meet The Crackers: Mum, Dad, Charlie and the twins, Jamie and Amy. They live a busy life with Granda and a house full of pets—Peter the parrot, Curly the dog, and Kitty the cat.

But this Christmas isn't going smoothly. Dad is really busy with being a Climate Change Consultant and has lots of Zoom meetings organised. Poor Granny has taken ill (don't worry, she has great friends helping her recover!) but Mum is too busy with Granny to get anything ready for Christmas. Meanwhile, Granda seems to be quite distracted by his social calendar and has lots of plans with his friend Hilary!

To make matters worse, they live next door to The Perfects—the neighbours with the fanciest decorations, the biggest presents and the most expensive Christmas money can buy.

The Crackers need a Christmas miracle but who can help them?

This show has everything!

  • Cheeky Elves causing mischief.

  • Celebrity Chefs cooking up a storm.

  • Argumentative reindeers.
  • Talking Pets.

  • Magical toys.
  • A heartwarming message about family and our planet.
