We know that you can't plan a holiday event for every night of the year and there may be a weekend or two when you are looking to get out of the social scene and attend an event... let someone else do the planning! We have gathered some of the most interesting Holiday Events around Seattle for you and your family, you and your friends, you and a loved one, or even just you.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Lost Christmas Eve

This is no simple Christmas caroling orchestra performance. This is an all out rock concert laser light show that will blow your stockings off with an extraordinary punch. According to the show description, the show has been called "a story of loss and redemption and features a diverse soundtrack fusing elements of rock, classical, folk, Broadway, and R&B, which takes you on a journey into the "Capra-esque" world of TSO creator / producer, Paul O'Neill. Encompassing a rundown hotel, an old toy store, a blues bar, a Gothic cathedral, and their respective inhabitants all intertwined during a single enchanted Christmas Eve in New York City, this year's show is sure to start any TSO fan's holiday season off right." 

Dates: Saturday, November 24 at 3 pm (presented by STAR 101.5) and 8 pm (presented by KZOK 102.5)
