The New York City ballet is streaming on Marquee TV

You can even make your own Nutcracker magic moment with The Grow & Stow tree that operates with a remote control

If you want more – don’t forget the 2009 Disney movie of The Nutcracker with Elle Fanning, Helen Mirren and Nathan Lane – streaming on multiple platforms platforms. As well as Debbie Allen‘s Hot Chocolate Nutcracker documentary on Netflix.

A highlight of my childhood was meeting Melissa Hayden, who was then dancing as the sugarplum fairy for the New York City ballet. She published a memoir and my father hosted the book launching party at our house, which happened to be on my birthday in 1963.

Thank you to all the adults who bought me a ticket to The Nutcracker for so many years.
