Make The Holidays Festive With A CHRISTMAS CAROL in Historic Hudson Valley

Revelers can share in the spirit of the holiday season at dramatic performances of Dickens's 'Christmas Carol' at the historic Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow on select weekends in December. Performances take place on Saturdays and Sundays, Dec. 8-9 and 15-16, at 3:30, 4:45, and 6pm.

Along with musical accompaniment, master storyteller Jonathan Kruk brings new life to the classic Charles Dickens story of Ebenezer Scrooge, the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, and Tiny Tim in this Historic Hudson Valley production.

At the Holiday Boutique at the Philipsburg Manor Museum Shop, open Thursdays-Sundays through December 22, holiday shoppers can browse local wares and support Historic Hudson Valley's educational programs while checking off their entire gift list. Stocked with Hudson Valley-inspired and holiday-themed merchandise, including artisan foods, books about the region, winter solstice-scented candles, handcrafted jewelry, and regional artists' work, the shelves are full of unique items for everyone that can't be found elsewhere.

Special events throughout the month add to the festive fun. On December 2, Eileen Rockefeller shares from her latest book, Space Between, as visitors enjoy eggnog and cookies. Stop by on December 8 to warm up with Hudson Valley Marshmallow Company's gourmet treats at our s'mores bar and hot chocolate tasting. And on December 15, acclaimed local artist Drew Macko will be signing and personalizing prints of his most popular works.

Performances take place at the Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow on Saturdays and Sundays, Dec. 8-9 and 15-16 at 3:30, 4:45, and 6pm.
