Come celebrate the holiday season with Carole J. Bufford as she returns to 54 Below with her new show, Yuletide Carole. With healthy helpings of both naughty and nice, you can expect to hear holiday classics reimagined in Bufford's inimitable style, and perhaps walk away humming some merry, new tunes for your season's playlist.
