Skip the mall on Black Friday and take the family to a show instead. A Charlie Brown Christmas: Live on Stage comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown on Friday, November 27, 2026, with two performances at 2 PM and 5 PM. MPAC is at 100 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960.
The production brings the beloved Peanuts television special to the stage. It follows Charles M. Schulz’s original story, in which Charlie Brown sets out to find the true meaning of Christmas, and it is set to Vince Guaraldi’s famous jazz score. This is a theater show with actors on stage, not a concert or a screening, and it is a family friendly pick for younger kids.
Tickets start at $35 on the MPAC page for A Charlie Brown Christmas Live on Stage, with prices varying by seat. VIP meet and greet packages are also offered at $124 and $134. Holiday family shows at MPAC are popular, so buy early if you want seats together.
Thanksgiving weekend is a big one at MPAC. Two nights later, on Sunday, November 29, Chevy Chase brings Christmas Vacation and a live conversation to MPAC, and the Christmas Festival on the Morristown Green kicks off the season downtown that Saturday. For the full lineup of holiday performances, see our guide to Christmas shows in Morris County.
The theater is a short walk from downtown shops and restaurants if you want to make an afternoon of it in Morristown.
If your family is making a full holiday weekend of it, Madison’s Christmas Parade and tree lighting steps off at 5:30 PM the same evening, a short drive from Morristown, so you can catch the 2 PM show and still make the parade. Our guide to Christmas parades in Morris County has the details.
A Charlie Brown Christmas: Live on Stage is Friday, November 27, 2026, at 2 PM and 5 PM at Mayo Performing Arts Center, 100 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960. Tickets start at $35, with VIP packages at $124 and $134.
