Snowflakes are swirling, the horse-drawn sleigh is ready: get in and ride along to a fairy-tale Christmas, long ago in a land far away. Along the way we pass Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread house, Cinderella's ballroom and the enchanted garden of Beauty and the Beast. Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite provides the ultimate Christmas feeling: one big party, from the twinkling overture to the world-famous flower waltz.
