As we make plans for travel through the first of the year, holiday events are often included. At home or on the road – traditional, old fashioned or new – different holiday events are in place for us to enjoy. Some are free to see, others have a ticket or admission price, but all aim to be a part of our holiday travel plans. Here are a few of the more noteworthy holiday events to consider.

"Radio City Christmas Spectacular"- New York City
Norwegian Cruise Line has been designated the official cruise line of the Rockettes and is offering a 25% savings on tickets to the "Radio City Christmas Spectacular" through December 30, 2012 (use promotional code "Cruise").

Norwegian also launched a sweepstakes that gives "Radio City Christmas Spectacular" attendees a chance to win a cruise for a family of four on Norwegian Breakaway, which will be the largest ship to homeport year-round from New York City beginning in May.

Holiday Ballet "The Nutcracker" from Georgia Metropolitan Dance Theatre- Atlanta
To many of us, nothing says "holidays" like a good performance of "The Nutcracker" and Atlanta's Georgia Metro Dance Theater has one of the best.

In its 11th year of creating holiday magic, they invite you to come and watch the timeless tale unfold as a young girl's gift of a nutcracker comes to life and a handsome prince whisks her away through the land of snow.
