Theatrical entertainment, often at Christmastime (9)

I believe the answer is:

pantomime

(Other definitions for pantomime that I've seen before include "Mime on tap in children's show" , "Traditional Christmas stage show with Dame" , "Christmas theatre, usually with Dame" , "'Cinderella', for example" , "Festive stage show" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
