If you need a break from checking the snow forecast this week, your options extend far beyond your usual routine. Scroll down for our final batch of picks for 2021—from the holiday cabaret Queer Eye for the Magi to New Year’s Eve with Gladys Knight and the Oregon Symphony—plus a few things to do on the first days of the new year.
