With unseasonably mild temperatures hanging around the Big Apple these days, Jack Frost isn’t nipping at anyone’s nose. If the balmy weather has put a damper on your holiday cheer, a visit to a magical production of The Nutracker might put you in the spirit. With the mixed bag of productions performing across the New York City area there’s one for every age, making it easy to go nuts. Here’s a small taste of what’s out there:

George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker
For some, this performance at the New York City Ballet is the one true nut. The grandiose scenery and gorgeous costumes are breathtaking and the dancers are superb. It’s sugar plum fairy city. Through January 3, 2016.

Tickets: From $75 to $265
David H. Koch Theater
20 Lincoln Center
Midtown Manhattan

The Hip Hop Nutcracker
The name says it all! Kurtis Blow is the special guest MC who mixes it up for this holiday classic. A DJ, an electric violinist, and digital scenery infuse Tchaikovsky’s score with an urban note and contemporary spirit. Now through December 19.

Tickets: $39-$59
New Jersey Performing Arts Center
1 Center Street
Newark, NJ

Gelsey Kirland Academy of Classical Ballet
A different take on the classic, this production offers a bit more drama than Balanchine’s version. Former New York City Ballet principal dancer Kirkland trained under Master Balanchine so you’re definitely in for a treat. Now through December 20.

Tickets: From $20-$59

The Hard Nut
Based on a book by E. T. Hoffman, The Nutcraker and the Mouse King, this comic book tale set in the 1970s comes to life through the Mark Morris Dance Group’s clever modern dance and choreography, colorful costumes and winter wonderland in a wild and witty way you’ve not seen before. Now through December 20.

Tickets: Starting from $25

The Knickerbocker Suite
This stripped down version on the time-honored classic delivers a modern twist. Performed by the Manhattan Youth Ballet at the Manhattan Movement and Arts Center, the first act features an animated film, the second act weaves iconic New York City landmarks into favorite Nutcracker moments. At only 70-minutes it’s a refreshing take on the traditional production and the city’s pigeons never looked so good!
