When the string lights come on outside and everyday life slows down, a fixed moment of the pre-Christmas season begins for many: "Christmas Moments." For almost three decades, the concerts for thousands of visitors have been an integral part of the Advent season – an evening that touches, connects, and sets the mood for Christmas.
In 2026, the concert series by bandleader and producer Thomas Schwab will embark on its 29th tour. After the sold-out 2025 season, the ensemble is carefully developing the successful show further while remaining true to what makes "Christmas Moments" so special: powerful voices, moving stories, and music that hits right in the heart.
“Christmas Moments” is more than just a concert. It is an atmospheric overall experience of heartfelt ballads, international Christmas classics, gospel, pop, and emotional moments that resonate long after – an evening that invites pause while also being full of energy and joy of life.
With top-notch soloists, an excellent live band, and a captivating light and video production, a show is created year after year that takes the audience on a musical journey through the Christmas season and enchants them.
In 2026, the proven and charismatic soloists will also be on board again, including stalwart David Moore, who has been a fixture of "Christmas Moments" for 24 years, Mannheim soul singer Dominik Steegmüller, and Emily Valerius, known from "The Voice Kids." They will be accompanied by a powerful band with Thomas Schwab on piano, Andreas Steffens/Carlos Wagner on saxophone, Sören Jordan on guitar, Jürgen Kochler on bass, and Marcel Millot on drums. The ensemble is rounded off by the Christmas angel and audience favorite Freudinand, who brings those special moments of reflection and a wink of lightness.
2026 is more than just another tour: it is also the start towards a special anniversary – as "Christmas Moments" will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2027.
