New Christmas movies started airing on the Hallmark Channel Oct. 16. Christmas music has already started playing on radio stations, and Christmas items are hitting store shelves.

Here's a look at that and 11 other Christmas concert tours coming to town in 2026, listed in order of occurrence. Pentatonix The Milwaukee Bucks' arena hosts the first and final Christmas concerts of 2026, with the Grammy-winning a cappella quintet Pentatonix kicking off the season behind their latest show-tune-inspired holiday album, “Christmas In The City.” When, where, how much: 7 p.m. Nov. 14, Fiserv Forum, 1111 N. Phillips Ave. $50.15 to $648.40 at the box office and fiservforum.com .

Goose Lives the High Life on Night One in Milwaukee

Goose | November 6, 2026 | Photos by Jamie Huenefeld/Killahwave.

The band enjoyed the stay so much that they returned for another three-night stand, which opened on November 6, 2026, as the third show of Fall Tour 2026 and the band's fifth appearance at the venue overall. Night one wasted no time showing why Goose keeps coming back, delivering a nearly ninety-minute first set, a ninety-one-show bustout, four first-ever segues, and the band's first "Wysteria Lane" sandwich in almost seven years.
