'Tis the season to get the gang all dressed up to see some holiday shows. Luckily in New York City, you don't have to blow all of your gift money on tickets. There are lots of small, low-key stage productions that are great for kids (even young, fidgety ones) that will get the whole family into the holiday spirit. All of our picks are $20 or under per person—a few are even less than $10!
These shows aren't all about Christmas, either. Hanukkah, Kwanza and the snowy winter season are also represented. From A Charlie Brown Christmas live onstage to a puppet take on Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus to Flying Latkes to abridged tot-friendly mountings of The Nutcracker, here are a dozen holiday shows (and a couple concerts) for NYC families. Remember, you can find lots of other seasonal fun in our NYC Holiday Guide.
