The story of The Nutcracker

Clara gets the surprise of her life when she creeps downstairs to play with her brand-new nutcracker on Christmas Eve... because when the clock strikes midnight the decorated tree starts growing and growing through the ceiling!

Her nutcracker doll then springs to life and starts battling with the formidable Mouse King, before taking her on a hot air balloon ride over the glistening rooftops of London to a frozen wintry wonderland.

After visiting the Sugar Plum Fairy in the colourful Kingdom of Sweets, a magnificent Toytown battle then follows and romance blossoms with a handsome Prince.
