The Christmas Story is one of Toronto’s oldest holiday traditions. First performed in 1938, this traditional Nativity pageant is based on Gospel passages from the King James Version of the Bible. Performances run Dec. 6-21, 2025.
Running time: 1 hr, 15 minutes.
The story unfolds through a series of narrated scenes linked by beautiful organ music and carols from an unseen choir. Close to 50 volunteers, including babies who take turns playing the role of baby Jesus, perform in the cast.
Suggested donation: Adults $25, Children $10. Reservations are recommended via www.thechristmasstory.ca
The Church of the Holy Trinity is wheelchair accessible. The performance on Friday, December 19th at 7pm will have ASL interpretation.
Tradition, community, innocence, trembling nerves, miracles and soaring choral music: this not-to-be-missed Nativity play is a calming antidote to a hectic season and a troubled world. It is a beautiful reminder that this is a season of blessings and new beginnings that we should all share with each other.
The Church of the Holy Trinity is located on the west side of the Toronto Eaton Centre at 19 Trinity Square, Toronto. Access to Trinity Square is pedestrian access only.
