Chapter 1
Once upon a winter’s day, a nutcracker named Ned fastened the shiny silver buttons on his best jacket, put on his felt hat and set off for a festive stroll in the woods.
Chapter 2
As he wandered through the frosty woodland, surrounded by snow-dusted trees and icy tree stumps, he soon realised he’d lost his way. But luckily for Ned, this was no ordinary forest…
Chapter 3
Deep inside the Enchanted Forest, the toadstools and pinecones came to life, filling Ned with wonder at the whimsical world he had discovered between the snowy branches.
Chapter 4
Ned joined the forest folk for a festive feast, sharing in the deliciously indulgent treats, from coconut dusted macarons to creamy, smooth chocolate bars, and so much more!
Chapter 5
But before the feast came to an end and Ned headed off home, with the help of the forest folk, another visitor stumbled across their gathering. Santa Claus himself!
Ned’s journey through the Enchanted Forest had made his Christmas even more special than he ever could have imagined.
