Zehnder’s Holiday Shows Featuring Groove Marmalade
December 2-4, 2025 | A celebration of all the Christmas favorites with a different twist, Christmas with Groove Marmalade takes everyone on a journey through space and time as this explosive band pays tribute to the most well known Christmas songs of all eras while also giving the songs a good dose of adrenaline. Their renditions range from styles such as Rock and Roll, Funk, Swing, Country, Reggae and even Latin, making this show unique and a fun one not to be missed. On stage, three lead singers (one male and two female) will deliver rich harmonies and a variety of colors, rendering the show very entertaining as well. One of the singers doubles as the Sax player for all those rocking Christmas solos. The whole band is dressed up in Christmas outfits and will bring back great memories with a fun, entertaining and engaging show!
