Gazillion Bubble Show adds holiday run at New World Stages

Gazillion Bubble Show will launch a Holiday Spectacular at New World Stages from Nov. 14 through Jan. 18, adding seasonal music, surprises and Santa-in-a-bubble photo ops to its long-running New York production. The extension comes after ticket demand pushed the show’s run through January 2027.

Why it matters: - The holiday version gives families another reason to see one of New York’s longest-running family shows during a peak entertainment season. - The extension keeps the show onstage through Jan. 18, 2027, after demand pushed the run beyond its original closing date. - The production has become a long-running New York draw, with nearly 7,000 performances and more than 1 million attendees since 2007.

What happened: - Gazillion Bubble Show will present its Holiday Spectacular from Nov. 14, 2026, through Jan. 18, 2027, at New World Stages, 340 West 50th Street in New York City. - The holiday engagement adds seasonal music, holiday-themed surprises, festive lighting, lasers and interactive magic to the core bubble act. - Families will be able to take a holiday photo with Santa inside a giant bubble. - The show reopened at New World Stages on Oct. 3, with the holiday programming starting Nov. 14.

The details: - The Holiday Spectacular follows an extension announced after a surge in ticket demand. - The run was originally scheduled to close Sept. 7. - Founder and creator Fan Yang said the response from longtime fans and new audiences has shown how much the show has become part of New York. - Bubble artists and siblings Deni and Melody Yang said the show is built around joy, wonder, imagination and bringing people together. - Gazillion Bubble Show debuted in 2007 as a nine-performance engagement. - The production has earned 18 Guinness World Records. - The show has appeared on Good Morning America, Today, CBS Sunday Morning, The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Between the lines: - The holiday rollout is both a seasonal programming move and a way to extend momentum from stronger-than-expected ticket demand. - The show’s longevity and family branding give it a built-in audience during the holidays, when experiential events often compete for the same leisure dollars. - The “final holiday season” framing signals urgency for fans who have delayed seeing the production.

What's next: - Holiday performances run on a limited schedule through Jan. 18, including no shows on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. - Tickets are available through Telecharge, by phone at 212-239-6200, and at the New World Stages box office. - Group tickets, schools and birthday parties can book through Broadway InBound. - More information is available at Gazillion Bubble Show’s website. - The show’s social channels include Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok.
