Composed in 2019, MacMillan’s "Christmas Oratorio" collects together settings of poetry, liturgy and scripture which explore themes related to the birth of Jesus. Whereas many of the chorus sections draw on Latin liturgy, the reflective arias for soprano and baritone adopt vivid texts by Robert Southwell, John Donne and John Milton.

James MacMillan leads a performance of "Christmas Oratorio" at the Barbican on December 19, 2025, the first time he has conducted the work in London. The BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus are joined by vocal soloists Rhian Lois and Roderick Williams and the performance is scheduled to be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 over the Christmas holiday period.
