Christmas Came Early to Kitchener Thanks to the Stars on Ice Holiday Tour




In May 2023 I attended Kurt Browning's final tour with Stars on Ice and last night I was at the Stars on Ice return to Kitchener.  This time they brought along holiday cheer and received lot of audience cheers with the Stars on Ice Holiday Tour


This spectacular skating show starred many stars of skating including Elvis Stojko, Gracie Gold, Elladj Baldé and many others.




The entire cast took to the ice with such grace and energy, skating to a mix of classic and contemporary holiday tunes that had everyone in the audience clapping along. The costumes were absolutely stunning, adding an extra layer of Christmas magic to every routine.




They even paid homage to the Kitchener Rangers Hockey Team with some skaters in outfitted in Rangers Hockey Jerseys and they started doing their own version of practice drills.




The event include emotional routines, dramatic duos and all the jumps, flips and spins you expect at a Stars on Ice Show.
The show was filled lots of festive songs and fun skits to bring the joy of the season to all the audience members. Check out some highlights in my reel below.

Infant and Child Studies group is a group of researchers interested in better understanding child cognition: so how kids learn! All our studies are designed as games for children to play while we observe how they respond to various toys, videos or sounds. The activities are fun for the kids, and help us to understand concepts like how children learn new words, when children can begin to understand math, or what learning strategies kids use to understand new concepts. We deliver studies in person, as well as online and in take home formats.
