Chris Mystery and the Mystery of the Missing Christmas Tree

It’s the day of the big Christmas lights turn-on in the small town of Mistleton, when the town Christmas tree goes mysteriously missing! Has it been stolen? Has it vanished into thin air? Is Christmas ruined? And who could possibly solve such a mysterious case? Look no further than part-time detective and full-time eight year old – Chris Mystery!

There isn’t a case that Chris Mystery hasn’t cracked – from the mystery of the Missing Remote Controller (under the cushion), to the mystery of Did the Dog Eat the Homework? (No, there never was any homework).

But this case is different. This time everyone is a suspect. The toymaker, the carol singers, the cast of the amateur pantomime, grumpy Mr McGrimble, even Father Christmas himself!

Full of songs, puppets, and painstaking investigatory work, where will the clues lead to in this magical family show? It’s time to crack the case and save Christmas.

Chris Mystery and the Mystery of the Missing Christmas Tree premiered at the Cheltenham Playhouse in Christmas 2022 and became the theatre’s best selling show for the last five years.
