BBMT’S HOLIDAY SPECIAL
WINTER WONDERLAND
November 15, 2025
– January 18, 2026
Bob Baker’s Holiday Special, Winter Wonderland, is a festivity spectacular that transforms BBMT into your home for the holidays! Join our host Demitrius Nova Twinklestar III (Demi Star for short) as he takes us on a magical tour of the holiday traditions of BBMT, complete with sledding slopes, caroling penguins, Santa’s workshop, and oh so much more!
Our classic holiday show, formerly known as Holiday on Strings, has been reimagined by Co-Directors and Puppeteers Kahbia Sada and Caden Healander into a holiday special filled with celebratory fun for all, as familiar BBMT faces don their party clothes, break out the carols, and dance through twinkling stars into a new year.
