The Nutcracker appears. The scene rotates toy soldiers clash with the Mouse King as the old clock strikes midnight. The scene rotates again the Sugar Plum Fairy dances through the Candy Kingdom, past the gingerbread house and the snowman and Santa's sleigh, while Clara watches from the wings. And all of it every figure, every gift, every candy cane assembled by your hands, lit by a warm LED, and turning on a motorized stage that never quite stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThere's a Christmas Nutcracker theatre on your shelf.

Since its premiere at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg on December 18, 1892, with Tchaikovsky's score and choreography by Lev Ivanov, it has been performed every December in every country that has a ballet company. In the United States alone, it accounts for nearly 40% of annual ballet revenues entire companies that exist, in financial terms, because of what happens when they put on this show between Thanksgiving and Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy? Because it tells the story of Christmas from inside the dream. A girl receives a nutcracker on Christmas Eve and enters a world of magic a battle, a kingdom made of candy, a dance that doesn't end until morning. It is, in the most literal sense, the dream that Christmas promises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book nook Christmas kit builds that dream. Three motorized rotating scenes, 387 precision-cut pieces, touch-activated LED, twin gold spires, deep navy theatrical architecture, angel motifs, and every character from the ballet placed by hand in their scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails of the Nutcracker Dreamscape Book Nook:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembled Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.4 × 18 × 25 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 387\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–8 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotating Scenes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 : motorized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Touch-activated LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × AAA batteries (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlue:\u003c\/strong\u003e Craft glue required (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/9378\/1322\/files\/3dpuzzleboitemusiquecassenoisette.jpg?v=1788181776\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Acts.

The Christmas tree grows to the ceiling. The toy soldiers come alive. And the Mouse King seven heads, a crown on each leads his army across the floor.

It is, in the tradition of 19th-century grand ballet, the scene designed entirely for wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis scene: the Sugar Plum Fairy in translucent pink tutu (the kit's most visually distinctive figure, illuminated from within by the LED), the Nutcracker Prince, the gingerbread house with its candy cane door, a snowman holding lollipops, Santa's sleigh loaded with gifts. The sweetest scene. The last scene.
