A Magical Greensboro Holiday Tradition

Holiday Nutcracker Tea Presented by O.Henry Hotel & Green Valley Grill

Step into a winter wonderland this holiday season at the O.Henry Hotel’s Nutcracker Tea. This cherished Greensboro tradition blends the elegance of afternoon tea with the timeless magic of The Nutcracker ballet.

We invite you and your family to a Holiday Tea featuring The Nutcracker. The story of The Nutcracker will enchant all ages as we combine traditions of the holiday season with afternoon tea. Dreams of dancing sugar plum fairies, toy soldiers and waltzing flowers inspired the special treats that will accompany your choice of tea, warm apple cider or hot chocolate.

Afterwards each child can decorate an ornament and help our chefs make gingerbread houses, all accompanied by music and costumed characters. Then join Clara by the tree as she reads the story of The Nutcracker. Bring your camera to capture this magical holiday event.

Price of $93 per person (includes one admission to the Nutcracker Tea and service charge) Taxes will be added at checkout.
