In this full-dome video show for all ages, you’ll first take a tour of the winter sky. Then, a mysterious alien spaceship appears. Is Christmas about to be stolen? Follow Santa’s hijacked sleigh from planet to planet and back to Earth again in this science fiction twist on a Christmas tale.

Dr. Dale Smith’s beloved Christmas show, which premiered in 1989, returns in December. Christmas is a season of lights, the lights we put up each year on the darkest days and the lights that sparkle in the sky above. The most famous of these lights is the one called the star of the wise men. The mystery of this star has fascinated people for centuries. What was this star? Was it a star or another natural light, or a miracle, or a legend? Secret of the Star explores the many theories of the wise men’s star and looks back in time to the origin of many customs and traditions of the season.
