From A Christmas Carol to The Nutcracker, holiday shows are a staple of schools and community theatres around the world. Everyone likes to close out the year with some seasonal cheer, and theatrical productions are no exception. But the question remains: What winter holiday shows are the most popular?
Fortunately, we at Playbill have data from the hundreds of schools and community theatres that get their programs from PLAYBILLDER, Playbill’s program-building service.
