Elevating Your Nutcracker Experience
Food Ideas
One of the highlights of Christmas are the decadent desserts. These Sugar Plum Fairy Cupcakes look amazing and would be a show stopper during your Nutcracker viewing party.
As a nod to the Mouse King, it seems fitting to snack on some cheese and crackers while you enjoy the show.
It could also be fun to practice crushing some shelled nuts using a nutcracker – watch out for little fingers!

Whether you get dressed up and go downtown to see the show live on stage each December or you prefer Disney’s version of the classic production, there’s so much magic and wonder to be experienced with this fairy tale ballet.
I am so glad you wrote this! One of my favorite traditions is to take my girls to the Nutcracker – and this will be perfect!
YAY! This is one of our favorite traditions too. I have to say, it was kind of fun to watch it from home in pajamas while eating popcorn and drinking cocoa. 🙂
