Home of Artists (HOA) HK, a non-profit Christian organization in Hong Kong, will present its two-night outdoor Christmas concert, "Starry Night Before Christmas," on December 19–20, 2026, in West Kowloon, Hong Kong. Featuring Christian entertainers and music groups from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and beyond, the event aims to celebrate Christmas through music while conveying messages of peace and hope.
According to the organizer, an on-site Christmas market will open to ticket holders starting at 2:00 p.m. each day, ahead of the 7:30 p.m. showtime.
This year's performing lineup includes celebrated Christian artists Teresa Carpio, Huang Kuo-lun, Nancy Kou, Cindy Yen, Jade Kwan, Wong Cho-lam, Leanne Li, Siu Kam-chi, and Eliza Sam, alongside beatbox act Heartgrey (also known as Eric So). Renowned vocalists Vivian Chow and Kimman Wang are scheduled for special appearances on December 20.
Participating worship bands and ministries include Stream of Praise, Joshua Band, the GA125 (an Asian Christian rappers group), Worship Nations, Eternity Music Ministry, the vocal group of HOA HK, and Star Park (an organization for Christian artists in Malaysia).
The upcoming concert builds on the organization's 40th-anniversary performance held on December 23–24, 2025, at the same venue. That two-night gathering drew nearly 10,000 attendees, delivering messages of faith, hope, and love through pop songs, gospel hymns, and personal testimonies.
Originally themed "Universal Joy," the 2025 event was reframed as "Universal Peace" following a tragic fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, seeking to offer comfort and encouragement to a grieving city. Organizers specially invited affected families, relief volunteers, and emergency responders to attend.
