Saturday: The National Ballet's The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition (photo by Bruce Zinger)
Saturday, December 17
‘Tis the season for that most wonderful of holiday traditions: the National Ballet of Canada’s annual performance of The Nutcracker. Treat your family to the magic of the Snow Queen and Sugar Plum Fairy (plus the company’s first-rate choreography and Tchaikovsky’s timeless music, of course), realized beautifully in this beloved ballet.
Pop-up shops seem to be sprouting everywhere these days, but Glory Box’s pop-up promises to be, well, glorious (and just in time for some last-minute gift shopping). Today and Sunday, drastically discounted new and gently used items from such brands as Le Creuset, Pottery Barn Kids and Versace will crowd the space at 37 Bulwer Ave., just north of Queen Street West.
Black Creek Pioneer Village invites you to experience Christmas by Lamplight with Victorian Christmas carols, hot chocolate and an old-fashioned holiday ball. A traditional dinner of stuffed turkey and bread pudding with caramel brandy sauce is guaranteed to get you into the seasonal spirit!
Stay, Dine, Do
