Christmas with Christoff

Christoff - for years the undisputed Christmas king of Flanders - is going on tour again in December with his great live band and four talented singers. Under the gradually familiar heading ‘Kerstmis met Christoff’, the sympathetic East Fleming brings an extensive Christmas tour in Flanders, where he will bring his favorite Christmas classics. It has gradually become one of his most beloved traditions: his series of Christmas concerts. “Christmas is a very important holiday for me. Every year Christmas is celebrated extensively at my home and then I spare no expense or effort. I love celebrating Christmas with only people you love. I like to extend this atmosphere into my annual Christmas concerts,” says Christoff. Christoff carries the title ‘Kerstkoning van Vlaanderen’ with right and pleasure. Everything that makes Christmas so special – the coziness, the lights, the delicious dishes – he finds fantastic. That is also evident from his impressive collection of more than 60 Christmas sweaters - from classic to ugly - he has them all. But above all, he lives for the music: for more than 15 years he has been filling Flemish churches with Christmas concerts that immerse thousands of visitors in the magic of the season. With more than 125,000 visitors spread over the various concerts, Christoff has firmly anchored himself in recent years as the Christmas icon of Flanders. In addition to Christmas classics such as ‘Witte Kerstmis’ and ‘Kleine Trommelaar’, a few new Christmas songs are added to the setlist again this year. “The familiar basis remains the same, but like every year there are new, subtle accents here and there. We are again working with four ladies with beautiful voices who accompany me on stage, but who also get to take their own moments. Polyphonic Christmas carols are always an added value, especially if you know that we also bring them in impressive churches or buildings with a great history and a magnificent acoustic.”
