The most anticipated celebration of the festive season, SPAR Carols by Candlelight with Jacaranda FM, returns on Thursday, 4 December 2025, bringing a night of music, magic, and togetherness to the SunBet Arena in Menlyn, Pretoria.
This year’s theme, Home for Christmas, returns by popular demand, capturing the warmth of homecomings and the joy of reconnecting with loved ones. Families, friends, and music fans are invited to share in the glow of the season through moving performances and moments of heartfelt connection.
A spectacular lineup of South African artists will take the stage, including Elandré, Lee Cole, Zoë Modiga, Ruan du Toit, Charlize Berg, Lloyd Cele, Jesse Clegg, and the Ndlovu Youth Choir. Together, they will deliver timeless carols and festive favourites, creating a joyful atmosphere filled with Jacaranda FM’s signature feel-good energy.
Only 7,000 tickets are available for the live event, so early booking is encouraged. Those unable to attend can enjoy the concert from home via the live stream on www.jacarandafm.com, with a full day rebroadcast on Christmas Eve for families to relive the celebration. All proceeds will support the Santa’s Shoebox initiative, spreading cheer to children across South Africa.
“SPAR Carols by Candlelight is more than just a concert,” says Vuyani Dombo, Managing Director of Jacaranda FM. “It is a reminder of the joy that comes from giving and connecting.” Maxine D’Amico, Advertising and Promotions Manager at SPAR Inland, adds, “This event reflects what SPAR stands for, community, hope, and the spirit of togetherness.”
