Children's Christmas Nativities | All Ages

Christmas is an especially exciting time for children. The end of term nativity is an eagerly anticipated event. Each child wants to play a pivotal part and you are burdened with the responsibility of correct casting and keeping the parents happy.

Musicline has created a wide range of festive, merry shows designed to keep productions easy and fun.

We have sought guidance from hundreds of schools listening to their advice about common problems experienced when hosting Christmas musicals for children. Our production packs address each issue as well as giving any other help we've thought of.

Widely-acclaimed Christmas nativities such as Starlight (KS1) which is ideal for the smaller Infant department and The Bethlehem Star (KS1) which is ideal for the larger infant department are all featured below.
Please browse our collection. We promise you'll be pleased with what you find.

If you have any questions or need any further information about our Christmas musicals for children please contact us. We'd love to help.
