Christmas Tradition
Does Peter Pan remind you of Christmas? There is actually a historical reason for that. Back in the day, the play was mostly performed during the holiday season. At the time, most plays geared toward young kids were based on either fairytales or nursery rhymes. But when Peter Pan hit the stage, it was something new and exciting.

People wanted to see something new, and Peter Pan was just that, adding magic to the holiday season. With flying, pirates, and fairies, it didn’t take long for the story to be a part of the Christmas tradition in New York and London. It eventually continued to spread all around the world.
