There are few better ways to get in the Christmas spirit than to celebrate the season with traditional performances of “A Christmas Carol” and “The Nutcracker”.

If you’re in the mood for A Christmas Carol’s Tiny Tim and Ebenezer Scrooge, consider Trois, around the corner from the Alliance Theater, for an early pre-perfomance dinner. Trois, Bob Amick’s modern, French-inspired restaurant is currently offering theater-goers a three-course, fixed-priced dinner ($30 per person) every day from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.

For those that prefer Tchaicovsky’s Nutcracker, take in the classic ballet at the Fox Theater after having dinner at Baraonda, a Midtown Italian eatery known for its diverse selection of pastas, wood-fired brick oven pizzas and wines, as well as its warm, window-filled atmosphere.
