South Africa’s favourite feel-good Christmas tradition is back! SPAR Carols by Candle Light with Jacaranda FM takes place on Thursday, 4 December 2025, and it promises to be the most magical night of the year.
Hosted at the SunBet Arena in Menlyn, this much-loved Carols by Candle Light event brings families, friends, and music lovers together for a night of festive joy, sparkling performances, and heartwarming Christmas spirit.
This year’s theme, “Home for Christmas”, returns by popular demand. It celebrates the joy of homecomings, reconnecting with loved ones, and the special moments that make the festive season truly feel like… well, home.

And the line-up? Absolutely star-studded:

These incredible South African artists will bring your favourite Christmas carols and festive classics to life — all with Jacaranda FM’s signature feel-good energy.
As always, Carols by Candle Light goes beyond music. All ticket proceeds support Santa’s Shoebox, helping bring joy, hope, and Christmas magic to children across the country.
Jacaranda FM’s Managing Director, Vuyani Dombo, says the event is a celebration of community and generosity — the heart of the festive season.
SPAR Inland’s Maxine D’Amico adds that the night reflects SPAR’s commitment to bringing people together and giving back in meaningful ways.
