The Nutcracker and More Westchester Holiday Shows

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 range from a special show by the New York Theatre Ballet to others performed entirely by dancers from Westchester and the Hudson Valley, with some venues even offering a shortened version for young children. Other classic holiday shows on our list include a musical version of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol and a dramatic, interactive screening of the children’s favorite holiday movie Elf. 

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.
