This new Christmas show is absolutely worth planning into your day at the park. Usually I only catch it if it's going on whilst I'm in the Diagon Alley area, but during my short trip I saw this show twice and would have seen it again if there was time. The songs are so good I would add them into regular Christmas music if I could (hint, hint Universal).

Celestina and the Banshees perform four new Christmas songs from her wizarding holiday album, Nothing Like A Holiday Spell. As well as the title track there's also A Witch and Wizard’s Wintry Wondrous Land, Accio Christmas and My Baby Gave Me A Hippogriff For Christmas.

All of the songs are catchy and even though My Baby Gave Me A Hippogriff is probably my favourite, I must admit I've had Accio Christmas stuck in my head for about a week now.

I loved the songs and the performance. There's even a bit of snow filled magic in this covered area of Diagon Alley.

You can catch Celestina Warbeck and the Banshees about 5 times a day over at the Carkitt Market area of Diagon Alley. The show lasts about 13 minutes, so grab yourself a hot Butterbeer from The Hopping Pot and find a spot to watch the show. The songs are so charming, that it's a surprise Professor Flitwick doesn't teach them.
