The Lindsey Stirling Christmas Program was a 2021 North American concert tour by violinist Lindsey Stirling. This was her fourth Christmas tour, in part celebrating her album Warmer in the Winter.

Background

In 2017, Stirling released the Christmas album Warmer in the Winter and toured that December. It became an annual occurrence with the Wanderland Tour (2018) and the Warmer in the Winter Tour (2019). With the COVID-19 pandemic leaving her unable to tour in 2020, Stirling performed a festive "Lindsey Stirling: Home for the Holidays" live stream concert.[1]

The Lindsey Stirling Christmas Program was a 22-day concert tour across North America. It began in Memphis, Tennessee, on 26 November and concluded on December 23 in Jackson, Mississippi.
