To help you decide what to experience this winter, The Broadway Blog has put together a list of the three best Christmastime attractions: all family friendly and sure to warm your spirits as the colder nights draw in. Enjoy!

Jefferson Mays went right from River City to Dickensian England: after finishing up his run as Mayor Shinn in the Hugh Jackman-led revival of The Music Man, Mays gets to be the star of this one-man show, an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ beloved holiday classic, A Christmas Carol. Directed by Michael Arden (Once On This Island), Mays plays over 50 characters, including a potato, to enliven this holiday hit.
At Carnegie Hall on December 16 and 17
If you happen to find yourself in New York closer to Christmas Day, you’ll want to check out indie singer and Broadway vet Ingrid Michaelson as she decks the halls for two nights only at Carnegie Hall. The Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 alum joins the New York Pops for two holiday concerts at one of New York’s most beloved venues.
At Radio City now through January 2
