holiday pageants
Festive school shows
Holiday pageants are theatrical performances celebrating seasonal holidays, typically staged by schools, churches, or community groups.
Most commonly associated with Christmas, these productions feature children in costumes acting out nativity scenes, singing carols, or performing secular winter-themed skits: My daughter is playing an angel in the holiday pageant.
The term sometimes extends to other celebrations like Easter or Thanksgiving.
