Punch and Judy, Mixed Nuts

In “Christmas Punch and Judy,” the Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre’s Liz Joyce and A Couple of Puppets will put a holiday twist on the classic story of Punch and Judy, a pair of puppets who have been married for centuries. When Mr. Punch starts pitching in around the house, a domestic disaster results, but all’s well that ends well. Show time for this family-friendly production for ages 3 and up is 11 a.m. on Saturday at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. Tickets are $15 with discounted subscription tickets available.

Also at Bay Street this weekend, the young dancers of Studio 3 in Bridgehampton will present “Mixed Nuts,” a “musical theater mash-up of holiday books,” Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 1 and 7 p.m. Advance tickets cost $20, $15 for students and senior citizens, at 537-3008. Tickets at the door will be $25 and $20.

A Snow Globe of Your Own

An interactive read-aloud of “Tracks in the Snow” by Wong Herbert Yee will be followed by a lesson on how to make snow globes at the Children’s Museum of the East End on Saturday from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Materials will be provided for kids age 3 to 6 to make their own miniature winter wonderlands to take home. Admission is $19, $7 for member, and advanced sign-up is requested.

Cookie Monster

Cookies in the shapes of snowmen, reindeer, and more await the enthusiastic decorative touch of children at the Montauk Library’s holiday cookie decorating session on Saturday from 2 to 3 p.m. As space is limited, advance registration is required.

Halloween Plus Christmas

For teens, the East Hampton Library will screen Tim Burton’s film “The Nightmare Before Christmas” in 3-D on Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. The movie, which is rated PG, tells the story of Jack Skellington’s journey to bring the magic of Christmas to his kingdom of Halloween Town.

Mystery Bag Challenge

On Sunday, those who accept the John Jermain Memorial Library’s Mystery Bag Challenge will get a bag full of random supplies that they will use to build a “contraption that will carry a marble from one point to another.” The fun, which begins at 2, is for ages 6 to 12. Advance sign-up is requested.
