The Kansas City Chiefs announced that Kingdom’s Greetings will return to Arrowhead Stadium beginning Nov. 27, with tickets going on sale Thursday, Oct. 29 at 10 a.m., the team said in an Oct. 27 release. The holiday pop-up is scheduled to run through Dec. 29. The team published the details on Oct. 27, 2026. The announcement lays out dates, pricing and special programming for the seasonal attraction.
The event will mark the fourth year the attraction has transformed the CommunityAmerica club level into a seasonal setting.

The Chiefs said they brought interactive surprises to life in partnership with Kansas City-based HMX Live and Illusions KC. Jeremy Slavens, the team’s vice president of Arrowhead Events, said the organization expanded the experience with new elements intended to surprise and delight guests.
A new private suite called The Nice List will be available for guests seeking an upgraded holiday experience, the release said. The Nice List will include complimentary sparkling wine and charcuterie upon arrival, a dedicated suite attendant and premium parking. Guests in the suite will have access to an additional menu of top-shelf cocktails and premium culinary offerings, and each guest will receive a limited-edition collectible gift while retaining access to the full Kingdom’s Greetings experience. The suite accommodates groups of two to 15 and reservations are available through Dec. 20.
