Last weekend I went to go see The Nutcracker at the Birmingham Hippodrome and it was amazing. I’ve loved The Nutcracker ever since I was a little girl and go see it whenever I can locally, probably about once every two years. The Birmingham Royal Ballet did an amazing job, the dancing was perfect and the set was magical. I admit my foot was tapping about quite a lot throughout.

The soundtrack is here and there are many versions of the ballet on YouTube (don’t tell my mum but I’m also a huge fan of the Barbie version). If you need a little Christmas cheer, I really recommend either watching a version or putting on the soundtrack and dancing about!
Have you ever seen The Nutcracker? What gets you in the Christmas mood?
