Renowned as one of Phoenix's signature holiday events, Alice Cooper's 24th annual "Christmas Pudding" fundraising event returns on December 12, 2026, at Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona with another powerhouse lineup featuring Alice Cooper, Dee Snider from TWISTED SISTER, Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger of HALESTORM, as well as JOHN 5 AND THE CREATURES.

"We are excited to celebrate our 24th year with another incredible lineup of artists who generously give their time and talent to support the teens at our three Teen Centers," said Alice Cooper. "We are grateful to everyone who continues to make 'Christmas Pudding' one of the Valley's favorite holiday traditions, and we look forward to another unforgettable night of music and mayhem."

Each year, "Christmas Pudding" features appearances by musicians who are dedicated to helping Cooper raise money for Alice Cooper's Solid Rock Teen Centers, which offer music, dance, art, and vocational programs for teens aged 12 to 20.

Since its launch in 2001, Alice Cooper's annual "Christmas Pudding" concert has been a way for Alice and his wife Sheryl to raise enough money to open up the center, dubbed "The Rock," where teenagers could be taught dance, music and art in a safe place.

"Christmas Pudding"'s original mission was finally achieved in May 2012, when Alice Cooper's Rock Teen Center opened.

"I'm not a teacher, but I have a great Rolodex," Cooper told the Phoenix New Times back in 2013. "So for 'Christmas Pudding', I can go through that Rolodex and call different people and they will show up and do a few songs."
