The festive season is upon Hong Kong, and as in past years, the city offers an array of cultural events for residents and visitors – from ballet to theatre and music.
While unmistakably Christmas-themed events are available, some offer an alternative for those who want to spend their holidays in a slightly different way.
The Post highlights some of the shows worth catching over the holidays.
Family-friendly performances
The Hong Kong Ballet’s annual performances of The Nutcracker mark the fifth anniversary of the city-inspired version created by the group’s artistic director, Septime Webre, featuring local elements, from dim sum to racing jockeys.

For those craving a touch of snow – the cinematic kind, at least – Frozen in Concert with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra offers a family-friendly escape into a wintry fantasy, bringing all the beloved characters from the Disney animation to life.
