We're all craving a return to normalcy so we can soak up the holiday season this year. Fortunately, a host of theatrical performances are being staged, so Westchester and Hudson Valley families can delight in the costumed spectacles that tell holiday tales.

Below we've rounded up 15 such productions. Whether you fancy the classic Nutcracker ballet, a depiction of Ebenezeer Scrooge, a family-friendly concert, or an adaptation of a TV holiday cartoon, we've got it all. Some, like the West Point Band's annual holiday show, are even FREE! Be sure to purchase tickets early to account for limited capacity and to avoid the complaints of "I can't see..." 

We have so many ways to lift your family's holiday spirits: From must-do holiday attractions to craft fairs, and more; our Holiday Fun Guide includes festive destinations and at-home activities. Be sure to visit our activity calendar, where you’ll find an ever-growing number of other holiday events we’re curating continuously.
