Cirque Dreams Holidaze Launches Nationwide Tour — But Skips Its Own Hometown, Las Vegas

Here’s a holiday surprise even Scrooge might frown at: Cirque Dreams Holidaze, the dazzling holiday spectacular created by the Cirque du Soleil family, is hitting the road this month — but it’s not coming to Las Vegas.

Despite being born from the Cirque brand that helped define entertainment on the Strip, this year’s Holidaze tour will travel coast to coast without a single Nevada stop. Cities like Philadelphia, Houston, Detroit, and Providence will get the show — but Vegas, the place synonymous with Cirque magic, will be left watching from afar.

A Holiday Spectacle That Feels Like a Dream

The 2025 edition of Cirque Dreams Holidaze has been completely reimagined, blending Broadway flair with high-flying acrobatics, juggling, aerial artistry, and a colorful cast of characters that bring Christmas to life. The show follows Clara, a young girl swept into a fantastical world after a snowstorm threatens to keep her family away on Christmas Eve. With new music, vibrant costumes, and a heartwarming finale, it’s a feel-good story made for families and dreamers of all ages.

Critics have called Holidaze “a show for all ages where families can make unforgettable memories.” And honestly, it sounds like the perfect fit for a Vegas holiday season that’s already built on spectacle.

Cirque’s Holiday Homecoming That Isn’t

It’s a bit ironic — Cirque du Soleil’s empire is based right here in Las Vegas, where shows like O, Mystère, and The Beatles LOVE have become part of the city’s DNA. Yet this Cirque-branded holiday production, produced by VStar Entertainment Group (now part of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group), will make 30+ stops across the U.S. — none of them in Sin City.

Maybe it’s because Vegas already sparkles 365 days a year, or maybe the Strip’s stages are just too packed. Either way, fans who want a dose of Cirque-style holiday magic will have to travel to see it.

Cirque Dreams Holidaze B-Roll

Until then, Las Vegas locals can only imagine Clara’s Christmas flight — from a city that knows a thing or two about making dreams take center stage.
