Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert

Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert comes to Usher Hall on Thursday, 3 December 2026. The live-to-film event combines the beloved Christmas movie with a live orchestra, giving Edinburgh a strong festive family listing at the start of December.

The combination of a well-loved seasonal film, Muppet humour and a concert-hall setting makes this an easy one to recommend for families, Christmas outings and anyone after something lighter than a standard winter gig.

Key Event Details

What To Expect

This is a live-to-film concert rather than a stage musical. The film is shown on screen while the score is performed live, which gives the event a festive concert feel while still keeping the warmth and comedy of the original movie.

For early December in Edinburgh, it is the sort of listing that works well for families, group outings and anyone looking for a seasonal event without going full panto.

Tickets & Entry

Tickets are available through the official listing. Availability can change, so check before booking.

Location

Usher Hall is a central venue on Lothian Road and well placed for a festive night out in the city, with Princes Street, the West End, and nearby bars and restaurants all close at hand.

Getting There

Princes Street and West End tram stops are both within walking distance, and Haymarket is the nearest main rail station for many visitors. December city-centre traffic can be heavy, so public transport is usually the easier choice.

Our Tips

• If you are making an evening of it, book nearby food early as the city centre gets busy in December.
• Arrive in good time so you can get seated before the live score begins.
• Check the official page for any age guidance or running-time updates.
