A number of songs from the musical have become famous internationally. The story of A Christmas Carol is enchanting, magical and terrifying with a moral. It tells about a miser who is in his old age. One night as he returns home after counting his money, he is visited by three ghosts. One is a ghost from his past; one is from his present and the third, from his future. Opening scenes include the track "Jolly Good Times." One of the most popular tracks from the show, "Link By Link" follows it with a number of performers dancing along with bright stunning lighting effects.

Then comes the ghost of "Past" with the track "The Lights of Long Ago." The track introduces the audience with Scrooge’s viewpoint of the world around him. Dozens of heavily made up spirits dance along with the ghost. The ghost of "Present" sings two songs, "Christmas Together" and "Abundance and Charity." In these tracks the ghost teaches Scrooge the lesson that Christmas is a time to get together, share happiness and cherish loving moments. It is also a time to give out charity and feel blessed.

The ghost of the future, which happens to be the scariest of all, comes with the tracks "Dancing on Your Grave" and "Yesterday, Tomorrow and Today." The track ends with Scrooge waking up on the Christmas morning and realizing his past mistakes. The story unfolds beautifully as Scrooge is given the lesson of his life and is changed into a whole new person. The day rises with the track "What a Day, What a Sky."
