Back for another year, Christmas isn't the same without the beautiful Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. Coming to Edmonton's Citadel Theatre's stage this winter, the heartwarming tale that depicts the magical power that Christmas has to uplift and inspire people is a must-see this time of year. Adapted by David van Belle, this 50's flavored production is directed by Lianna Makuch after Daryl Cloran.

For over 50 years, the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers have brought the gifts of their heritage to Canadian shores as the country's only Ukrainian dance company. Given Tchaikovsky's time spent in the country and his founding of the Kiev Music Conservatory, it makes it all the more poignant that the outfit turned their talents to their very own rendition of the composer's cherished Nutcracker ballet, becoming a bona fide Edmonton Christmas tradition in the process.
