Two of New Zealand's most loved and acclaimed entertainers are coming to Tauranga for Christmas.

The Topp Twins will star in Christmas in Greerton Village December 7.

Greerton Village Community Association manager Sally Benning said she was excited to finally announce the news.

"They've been booked for a long time but that's been kept under wraps until this week."

The association had tried bringing Dame Jules and Dame Linda Topp to Greerton for the past couple of years for a Christmas show "but they have either been overseas or filming for their TV series or it didn't work in with school dates".

"But this year, the stars were aligned. I was really happy. We were really happy."

The Topp Twins will perform at Greerton Village School's rotunda. The show will run in conjunction with a Greerton Christmas Market Day in the village.

Santa is also expected to make an appearance.

Tickets are $5 per adult. Children 12 and under are free.

"It's a nominal fee that does not reflect the calibre of the Topp Twins or cost of [production of the show] but we wanted to ensure people from throughout the community and further afield could come and enjoy a professional, world-class show."

Tickets will go on sale in November via the Eventfinda website from Blomquists Bakery or MDS Leatherworks.
