Here is a sampling of the week’s events and how to tune in (all times are Eastern). Note that events are subject to change after publication.

Monday

Grab an apron and learn to make winter snowball truffles in a kid-friendly cooking workshop from Tiny Chefs. In the interactive class, instructors will teach children ages 6 to 12 how to make the delicious chocolate and coconut confections, and introduce skills like following a recipe and measuring ingredients. Tickets are $25 per household, and registration closes at midnight on Dec. 20. Participants will be sent a recipe in advance.

When 6 p.m.

Start your Christmas week on a strong note with the Oratorio Society of New York’s stream of Handel’s “Messiah.” It’s a distinctly pandemic-era presentation: filmed in upstate New York in October with a smaller number of musicians and singers who practiced social distancing and wore masks. But it promises to be no less powerful. The performance is free and will be available until Jan. 10.
