Tchaikovsky’s timeless Nutcracker ballet is a beloved family holiday tradition, and multiple Westchester and Hudson Valley venues present stunning performances of this classic.
Performances of The Nutcracker this year include Dance For Joy's Nutcracker for Kids, a condensed, narrated version of the classic ballet geared toward the younger set, and a narrative performance of the full ballet at the Nutcracker by Rockland Youth Dance Ensemble, with special effects including a tree that grows and snow that falls.
Other holiday shows on our list include the Interactive Elf Movie Screening at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, where kids can also have a snowball fight and are served free hot chocolate.
We have so many ways to lift your family's spirits as the year draws to a close: From must-do holiday attractions to craft fairs and more, our Holiday Fun Guide includes festive destinations and at-home activities.
