There are tons of great holiday events in our area, as well as around the Puget Sound. Macaroni Kid has compiled some of our favorite highlights of holiday happenings from the Eastside and beyond.
SEATTLE
Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical: Audiences will find their hearts growing a few sizes along with the Grinch’s when they experience the magic of the beloved tale on stage, which features the hit songs "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas” (written by Albert Hague and Dr. Seuss), from the original animated television special. Max the Dog narrates as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is "two sizes too small," decides to steal Christmas away from the loveable Whos. December 2-7
Year after year, family and friends share the wonder and beauty of the holidays with Pacific Northwest Ballet The Nutcraker. November 28 - December 28
Start off your Holiday Season with the Festival of Trees! Get inspired for your family's holiday tree decorating and give back to Seattle Children's Autism Center and Uncompensated Care at Seattle Children's Hospital. November 22 - December 3
BELLEVUE
Garden D’Lights is an annual holiday season tradition featuring thousands of tiny twinkling lights that transform Bellevue Botanical Garden into a winter wonderland.
