EVENT DETAILS

A Holiday Tradition Fit for The Sugar Plum Fairy

Nothing puts you in the Christmas spirit quite like the beautiful melodies of The Nutcracker. The iconic ballet has been enchanting audiences for over 130 years. But now the beloved characters and heartwarming story are being reimagined by adding modern theatrical effects to the classical ballet and Tchaikovsky’s timeless score.

Your whimsical getaway begins with check-in at Marriott’s Shadow Ridge, followed by event registration and a champagne toast.

On Day 2, head to Guiseppes Restaurant and Pizzeria at Marriott’s Shadow Ridge for a special dining experience. You’ll prepare gingerbread cookies with fellow Owners. Then indulge in authentic Chicago Italian cuisine served family-style while they bake. Once the cookies are done, decorate them yourself to leave with a festive treat.

On Day 3, you’re off to McCallum Theatre to see Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet. Gather outside in the beautifully landscaped Reflection Garden for beer, wine, and small bites before the show. Then, see the original ballet enhanced with breathtaking acrobatics, elaborate puppetry, dazzling costumes, and Broadway-quality sets. Take it all in from excellent rear orchestra seats.

Spaces are limited for this event. So reserve now before the Mouse King claims it for himself.
