During the night the girl dreams that everything around her takes life and she also finds herself dancing among toys, Christmas decorations, sweets, snowflakes and flowers. Even the public is dragged, on the most famous notes of the work such as Valzer of the Flowers, the Dance of the Candy Fairy and the Dance of the Snowflakes, in this enchanting Christmas dream, meeting the King of the Mice and the Confetto Fairy, and hoping that little Clara will be able not to get the nutcracker stolen by a myriad of rats commanded by their cruel King.
