From the Nutcracker to American Psycho, from Mary Poppins to Kurt Vile, our critics pick their must-sees of the festive season
If you wish it could be Christmas every day
Nutcrackers, various
You know it's Christmas in the ballet world by the number of Nutcrackers touring the world's stages. In the UK alone, there are close to a dozen doing the rounds, but the top three remain the Royal Ballet's exquisitely traditional version, the sparky family friendly production by Birmingham Royal Ballet, and English National Ballet's – with the best snow scene of them all. Royal Opera House, London (020-7304 4000), 4 December to 16 January; Birmingham Hippodrome (0844 338 5000), to 12 December; London Coliseum (020-7845 9300), 11 December to 5 January.
Father Christmas
Does Father Christmas use the loo? Does he secretly long for summer? Does he have strong views on the size of chimneys? You bet he does. Raymond Briggs's gorgeous picture book gets a heartwarming makeover for under-sixes.

Love 'em or hate 'em, Detroit's Insane Clown Posse are here to stay. With their latest album, Bang! Pow! Boom!, set to drop next Tuesday, Icp is returning to their roots and bringing the Dark Carnival back from the dead. After a curious turn of events derailed Fango's attempt at an interview at the 10th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos earlier this month, Fangoria Musick's Matt Molgaard (aka InstantLegend) caught up with Violent J for a little one-on-one.

Fangoria: First, lets talk about the new album… what can all the Juggalo’s out there expect from Bang! Pow! Boom!?
