Looking for the best things to do in Connecticut this Christmas weekend? Here are some family-friendly events and activities to add to your list for the holiday weekend.

With the clock ticking down to Christmas, Connecticut families are squeezing in every last bit of festive fun before the holiday season slips away. Don't worry, there is plenty still going on. Grab your tickets to The Nutcracker Suite and Spicy in Hartford, an immersive show for all ages which is an updated, modernized version of the Nutcracker. Eat (and BUILD!) something sweet at the Candy House Workshop at Fairfield Museum or visit with Santa before the big day at the Holiday Party at Mill River Park. Also this weekend, sit  back, relax and take a Horse Drawn Wagon and Sleigh Rides in Portland.

Happy Holidays!
