This week we’re giving four tickets to a fun holiday show that combines a classic children’s book with live symphony music in a one-of-a-kind concert created specifically for families. The event is called “The Snowman,” and it happens at 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 6, 2015 on the Walton Arts Center stage.
ABOUT THE SHOW: During this event, you’ll see a special screening of the 1982 Academy Award-nominated film called The Snowman, based on the classic children’s book of the same name. The story of the movie is about a snowman who comes to life, and kids have loved this story for more than 30 years. The film itself is silent but it’ll be paired with the music of the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas, under the direction of Music Director Paul Haas.
The event is perfect for kids, especially those who love animated movies and music. We’re pairing the four show tickets with a gift card to our favorite pizza place on Dickson Street, U.S. Pizza.
ABOUT THE FOOD: We love U.S. Pizza. They are a tradition in Fayetteville, and we love that they’re right on Dickson Street, so you can walk straight there from Walton Arts Center. The award-winning pizza, salads, sandwiches and more have a unique flavor that’s not duplicated anywhere in NWA.

I love “O Holy Night”…it’s beautiful.
I follow on Twitter and Insta 🙂
There’s an old country song called Christmas Carol that I love but it makes me cry like a baby.
ALL OF IT!!!! I begin listening to Christmas music November 1st and don’t stop till December 26th!
The music from The Snowman is beautiful. I share this book and the video with my students every year. I would love to see it in person and live!
My all time favorite one is “The Little drummer Boy” sung by Bing Crosby and David Bowie in 1977 i think fantastic
I really love all Christmas music, but my favorites are Jingle Bell Rock and Star of Bethlehem
All of it! Jingle bells is probably my fav 🙂
I love o holy night
Carol of the Bells has always been my favorite Christmas Carol. I loved playing it in high school with the Orchestra and love hearing it on Christmas movies. It’s in The Santa Clause, Home Alone, and several others. 🙂
White Christmas by Bing Crosby will always be one of my favorites. It reminds me of my childhood.
I love the “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” song! The imagery is disgustingly fantastic!
I love Have a Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Ives. It just puts me in the mood for tree decorating and cookie baking. I follow you on Pinterest and Twitter, commented on FB, and I get the newsletter.
Carol of the Bells is my most favorite classic Christmas song. I love all the choir parts and absolutely loved singing it each year that I was in choir! My favorite modern song is Mariah Carey’s, All I want for Christmas song. It’s not Christmas season unless I hear that song at least 5 times!
I love all Christmas music, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”
I LOVE the song – Mary, did you know? Such a sweet song and the lyrics get me every time!
I follow you on twitter.

Silent Night is one of my favorites, I sang it to my daughter at bedtime when she was a baby .
White Christmas
O holy night. Makes me cry everytime I hear it.

Carol of the bells is my all time favorite.
I love the Trans-Siberian Orchestra pieces!
I love the trans Siberian orchestra! But I also love all other Christmas music.
Little Drummer Boy or Oh Holy Night. Are wonderful!
I love “Lucy & Linus” from the Peanuts films!
My fav is “Feliz Navidad” but I also love”This Christmas” by Chris Brown
My favorite is ” O Holy Night”. It is a beautiful song and is about the true reason of Christmas.
O Holy Night and Joy to the World
My favorite song is “O Holy Night”.
I just love the Carol of the Bells! It just makes my heart happy!! I play the piano and it is probably one of my favorite pieces to play as well!
Oh Holy Night and The First Noel are my all time favorite Christmas songs. I don’t care how they are played the give me chills every time I hear them. They are powerful and touching.
