In a season of lists — gift lists, card lists, guest lists, ingredient lists — we’ve got the best one of all: holiday entertainment lists. Our holiday preview has everything you need, no shopping, mailing, inviting or cooking required.
Browse our picks throughout the week for what to watch on the couch, at the movie theater or on stage. There’s something for everyone: Oscar front-runner “Hamnet” for Shakespeare lovers seeking a good cry; Katseye at the Palladium for K-pop fans eager to collectively scream; “Jingle Bell Heist” for meet-cute admirers and “Bob Baker’s Nutcracker” for nostalgics. We also catch you up on “Stranger Things” (because who can remember 2022), explore a “Fraggle Rock” game-changer and give an inside look at the Neil Diamond-centric “Song Sung Blue,” which may have you chanting “so good, so good” long after the credits run.
