Britain’s Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas delivered a show-stopping performance at Magic Radio’s West End Christmas at the London Palladium on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Fans and critics alike praised her “unexpected” and “rare” high notes, with many noting that her command of the upper register was nothing short of extraordinary.
From the moment she stepped on stage, Christmas captured the audience with a voice that “never looks back,” hitting soaring notes that had to be heard to be believed. The performance was described as pure theatrical magic, drawing comparisons to iconic musical moments while staying firmly in the modern West End spotlight.
Hosted by West End stars Lucie Jones (Les Misérables) and David Hunter (Waitress), the concert featured a host of celebrated performers, including Michael Ball (Les Misérables), John Owen Jones (The Phantom of the Opera), Zoe Birkett (Tina – The Tina Turner Musical), and 2025 Olivier Award nominee Lauren Drew (Titaníque). Christmas, the Kent native who rose to fame after winning BGT in 2024, shared the stage alongside these established stars, blending classic Christmas favorites with her signature musical theatre flair.
Since her victory on Britain’s Got Talent last year, Christmas has continued to impress audiences both in the UK and internationally. The 29-year-old received £250,000 and an invitation to perform at the Royal Variety Performance after a Golden Buzzer audition led by Amanda Holden. Her rendition of Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz won over both the judges and the voting public, cementing her status as one of the UK’s rising musical stars.
Christmas has also balanced her career with education, recently returning to complete her Level 3 PT qualification, and she has been methodical with her BGT winnings, saving for her future home. Her musical journey has expanded across the Atlantic, with a sold-out debut show at Sony Hall in New York and the release of her debut album My Way in October, which included a cover of Vera Lynn’s wartime anthem We’ll Meet Again for VE Day’s 80th anniversary.
Reflecting on her journey, Christmas shared: “It completely changed my life… It reminds me to brave, to keep going, and to trust my instincts with all the twists and turns that life has to bring. I put my heart and soul into my version and I’m so proud of what we achieved.”
Her performance at the London Palladium reinforced that Sydnie Christmas is not just a winner of a reality competition—she is a powerhouse vocalist whose range and emotional delivery promise to define her West End and international career for years to come.
