On Christmas Eve, toys come alive—and a magical battle begins.

The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (1816), by E. T. A. Hoffmann, is the whimsical and imaginative tale that inspired Tchaikovsky's world-famous ballet The Nutcracker.

The story follows young Marie Stahlbaum, who receives a nutcracker doll as a Christmas gift. When midnight strikes, the nutcracker comes to life, leading Marie into a world of wonder filled with battling mice, enchanted toys, and a journey to magical kingdoms.

At once a charming fairy tale and a profound exploration of childhood dreams, Hoffmann's story blends fantasy, adventure, and holiday spirit in unforgettable ways.

Loved by children and adults alike, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King remains a timeless holiday classic, brimming with wonder, imagination, and joy.
