| Performance Notes | This event returns to the Hall this December. This well-established and much loved event takes place at the Hall where the audience are treated to celebrity performances and a superb children's choir, as well as joining in with some classic Christmas Carols.
Stars from popular TV shows including Holby City, Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Eastenders returned to the stunning Royal Albert Hall for the 29th year supporting Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research at the much loved Christmas with the Stars.
The audience got into the festive spirit and enjoyed the fantastic sounds of the Frank Renton Band, the trumpets of the Cold Stream Guards, the vocals of the Sydenham School Choir and had the chance to join in with some classic Christmas Carols at the iconic venue.
TV Times have sponsored this event for over 25 years.
