By , Daily Memphian Updated: December 19, 2025 2:33 PM CT | Published: December 19, 2025 6:14 AM CT

We’re wrapping ourselves in holiday music and movies this week. 

Between Victorian caroling at The Peabody Memphis with Opera Memphis, and a supergroup of Memphis musicians performing the soundtrack from the 1965 animated classic, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” at Lafayette’s Music Room, you’re bound to at least hear the holiday spirit. 

Plus, you can see “It’s a Wonderful Life” at the Orpheum Theatre. 

Today, editorial director Mary Cashiola and digital producer Kelsey Bowen discuss some of the fun to be had.
