Elvis Christmas Spectacular with Kraig Parker at Choctaw Grand Theater

Kraig Parker is widely regarded as one of the top Elvis portrayers in the world, headlining tribute productions from Las Vegas to theaters across the country. The World Premier Elvis Tribute has built its name on authentic costumes, live band arrangements, and a voice and stage presence that carry the full range of the King's eras, from the early rock and roll swagger to the jumpsuit years.

The Christmas edition pairs the hits with holiday favorites, making it a rare show that works for grandparents, parents, and kids in the same afternoon. It is a seated matinee in the comfortable Choctaw Grand Theater, which keeps the crowd relaxed and the holiday mood front and center.

Making a day of it

The 3:00 PM start makes an easy trip from the Paris area, about an hour up US-75. Families can arrive early, grab lunch at one of the resort's restaurants, catch the show, and be home in Lamar County before dark. For anyone with relatives visiting for the holidays, it is a dependable, crowd-pleasing outing that avoids the December traffic of the big cities.

Why it matters for the area

The Choctaw Grand Theater packs its December calendar with holiday events that serve this whole corner of Northeast Texas: music, comedy, and family shows like this one within an easy drive of Paris. For buyers moving to the area, that steady lineup of things to do is a real quality-of-life answer to the question of what happens out here in the winter months.
