The Dallas Cowboys are hosting their fifth annual “Christmas at the Star” event starting every Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m. from Nov. 19 – Dec. 18 at The Star in Frisco.
“Christmas at The Star has become a fast tradition with all of our fans here at The Star in Frisco that we’re so thrilled to have back again this holiday season,” said Dallas Cowboys Chief Brand Officer Charlotte Jones. “Celebrating the holidays along with the success of the Dallas Cowboys this season has given us all plenty to be thankful and proud of this year, and we’re delighted to once again put on an incredible weekly performance that all can enjoy in person with Christmas at The Star.”
Every Friday and Saturday, the Cowboys Christmas Extravaganza, a must-see 20-minute Christmas lights show that electrifies The Star in Frisco, will kick off festivities with a powerful mix of game day excitement and Christmas cheer on Tostitos Championship Plaza.
First will be the lighting of The Star’s 67-foot Christmas tree by a Dallas Cowboys alum. Then fans in attendance will be treated a holiday performance showcasing the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, Dallas Cowboys Rhythm and Blue Dancers and Drumline, Cowboys Rookie Squad, mascot Rowdy, and even Santa Claus!
There will also be special guest appearances throughout the season, please see details below.
