What Is The Story?

It's Christmas Eve, and one family are all gathered round their Christmas tree ready for a party. This is a moment of high excitement for the kids, particularly young Clara - it means it's time for presents. Clara is thrilled by the gift of a little wooden nutcracker toy - but her delight will grow to even greater heights when, late that night, the toy grows to life-size and comes to life. Clara soon finds herself whisked away to a land of gingerbread men, toy soldiers, and fairies. But can she find her way home again?
