1. Rudolph at the Center for Puppetry Arts *F
Whether you are 4 or 40, who doesn’t like a good puppet show? The puppets at the Center for Puppetry Arts are top notch and so are their puppeteers.

2. Holiday in the Park, Six Flags Over Georgia, Atlanta *F
While it’s typically closed throughout the winter months, Six Flags Over Georgia, Atlanta transforms throughout December and early January into a winter wonderland full of twinkling lights and a very authentic Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

This adult-only comedy show is perfect for injecting some humor into the hustle and bustle the Holidays bring. Grab your friends, get a babysitter and get ready to be entertained!

4. The Snow Queen, Serenbe Playhouse *F
If Frozen is on anyone’s mind in your household, plan the perfect outing to the see the World Premier of The Snow Queen, by Rachel Teague at the Serenbe Playhouse. Get your tickets now for the just added December shows, they sell out almost as soon as they are released!
