1. Who to Bring
Between turning your home into the perfect winter wonderland, hosting family, cooking and shopping, it can be easy to get caught up in the chaos of the holidays. Don’t let spending time with your loved ones take back seat to the rush! Night at the Nutcracker is the event that will provide you and your friends and family with the perfect holiday escape. From an epic battle between the Mouse King and the Nutcracker to a breathtaking snowfall, Nutcracker is a thrill for all ages. So whether you’re looking for a night out on the town with your special someone, a new family tradition, a girls’ night out or just a special evening, complete your holiday celebration with Nutcracker.
2. What to Wear
Of course you have to pick out your most holiday-fab outfit to wear at the performance! With the help of our favorite mini blogger, Bean, of The Sweet Life of Bean, we can choose the perfect Nutcracker look for the night. Bean tells us that “it’s important to be both comfortable and fashionable because you’ll probably take a lot of pictures with your family and friends.” Inspired by Nutcracker, Bean chose three outfits that she thought would be appropriate to wear to the performance. See what Bean is wearing and start putting together your personal holiday-fab outfit! For our not-so-mini bloggers, don’t worry, she has some outfit ideas for you too!
3. What Happens at Night at the Nutcracker
A one night only celebration, Night at the Nutcracker incorporates all of your favorite holiday treats, activities and of course, your favorite holiday performance!
