Ole & Lena's Family Christmas brings the beloved comedy duo of Mike (Michael) Bateson and Julie Bateson to the stage for a festive, family-friendly experience. Known for their warmth, quick wit, and classic Minnesota humor, this act has become a staple of regional Christmas shows. The production has a history tied to the Jon Hassler Theater in Plainview, MN, where Ole & Lena performances entertained audiences in December 2013. While that venue closed in 2014, the Batesons continued to keep the Ole & Lena spirit alive, including a 2020 listing at the Mabel Tainter Center for the Arts in Menomonie, WI. As of 2025, public touring schedules are less formal, with occasional 2026 dates appearing on ticketing sites.
