12/20/15 - By Kristen Sullivan

The countdown is on. Christmas is almost here, and winter break is even closer than that. Philly families can find ways to get into the holiday spirit and keep the kids happy by turning to our Events Calendar which is filled almost as full as Santa's sleigh!

See a Christmas show, go ice skating, watch a Nutcracker performance, or experience Wells Fargo Center's Disney on Ice. Consider planning a getaway to the Sweetest Place on Earth and be sure to download some kid shows for the ride. On the other hand, if your focus is still on last minute shopping, check out our Round Up of Holiday Drop and Shop opportunities.

Read on to see our top weekday picks and have a very Merry Christmas!
