The Fairy Tale of the Magic Cookie

In a snow-covered village, a young baker arrives with big dreams – to open his own bakery. But he soon notices that the villagers are sad and worried, and no one wants to buy his bread. Determined to brighten their days, he starts baking cookies, but it seems as if the village is under an unlucky spell – nothing turns out as it should. The cookies burn, spread out too much, or turn as hard as rocks.

Just as he’s about to give up, he finds a sleeping squirrel in a sack of walnuts. The squirrel shares a secret: the village was once full of joy and laughter until a great misfortune struck… Together, they hatch a plan to bring happiness back to the villagers and put smiles on their faces once again. Will the baker and the squirrel manage to lift the dark clouds and restore the holiday cheer to the village?

Get ready for a delightful blend of puppet and drama theatre, filled with warmth, laughter, and magic. Discover the secrets of baking bread and cookies, but most importantly, learn that happiness is sweetest when shared with others.
