Ina Wroldsen turns Christmas success into tradition with new performances in 2026
After the fantastic reception in 2025, it’s clear: Ina Wroldsen is making the Christmas show The Business of Christmas a permanent tradition. New dates for 2026 are now announced.
Last year, Ina Wroldsen took a new and personal approach as she created her own Christmas show and went on tour. The audience responded immediately, with tickets disappearing at record speed and the reception being overwhelming. This success made it clear to Wroldsen that this was not a one-time project, but the start of something meant to last.
– I made a Christmas album and went on a Christmas tour, and I am so happy and ready to do it again! It has been incredibly heartwarming to receive so many well-wishes and to hear that people have found new Christmas favorites, says Ina Wroldsen.
The show is based on the Christmas album The Business of Christmas, which has received glowing reviews. Among those who were excited is Morten Hegseth:
– I often toss around terms like “I love it,” “the best ever,” and “fantastic,” so I’m easily impressed. But it is rare that I have been as impressed by something as I am with Ina’s Christmas album The Business of Christmas, says Hegseth.
In the show, Ina invites the audience into an intimate and festive Christmas evening, with a clear desire to recreate the magic of childhood Christmases. The audience is encouraged to dress up and actively participate in the celebration, while Wroldsen also allows space for reflection. The evening encompasses the full spectrum of emotions that Christmas can evoke: joy and community, but also sorrow and loneliness. She highlights the stories of those who are somewhat on the outside – those who work while others celebrate, those who have every other Christmas with their children, or those who do their utmost to make everything work yet deep down just want to escape to a deserted island.
With her characteristically clear voice, personal stories, and powerful songs like “Christmas Card from Dean Street,” “December,” “Christmas ’94,” and “The Jingle,” Ina Wroldsen creates a Christmas experience that both touches and excites.
The Business of Christmas became a powerful accomplishment, a performance that contained everything one could wish for from a truly great Christmas experience. The audience listened quietly, laughed, cried, and danced. Now even more people will have the chance when Ina Wroldsen carries the Christmas tradition into 2026.
