The Ugly Seasonal Sweater Soirée: Holiday Hits in Horrible Knits is a hilariously festive, one-of-a-kind holiday celebration for the whole family! It’s a joyful mix of everything we love about the season — heartwarming traditions, timeless holiday tunes, and the gloriously tacky sweaters that make December sparkle just a little brighter.
With sensational singers and a live band that keeps the energy soaring, this festive spectacular weaves playful holiday tales into a soundtrack of seasonal classics — from It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year and White Christmas to I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Jingle Bell Rock and plenty more crowd-pleasers.
Perfect for kids, parents, grandparents, and everyone in between, this all-ages event will have you singing, clapping, and maybe even dancing in your seat. So grab your most wonderfully awful holiday sweater, gather the whole crew, and get ready for an evening of music, laughter, and cheer that’s guaranteed to leave everyone—big and small—merry and bright.
Holiday Toy Drive for Becky’s Gift 🎁
Poway On Stage is proud to partner with Becky’s Gift this holiday season to bring joy to children and families facing cancer. Becky’s Gifts is a local nonprofit that collects toys and holiday gifts for five cancer centers across San Diego County, helping brighten the holidays for children ages 1–16 who are undergoing treatment or whose families are affected by cancer.
If you’re attending The Ugly Seasonal Sweater Soirée on December 6, please consider bringing a new, unwrapped toy to donate. Your generosity will help make the season a little brighter for these deserving kids.
