This is a family friendly event.

See the Nutcracker

If staying inside where it’s warm sounds good, you can see the a very special New Year’s Eve performance of Boston Ballet’s The Nutcracker at 7:30 p.m. at the Boston Opera House. The performance is just under 2 hours so you will have plenty of time to ring in the New Year on time.
