The ballet follows the story of two orphan children, Gracie and Nick, who are searching for the wonder of the holiday season. With the help of three Christmas Lights, Twinkle, Flicker and Pixie, the children adventure through a toy shoppe, Christmas tree village and a cathedral in search of this holiday spirit. Through their journey, the children discover that the wonder of the Christmas season is more than the traditions. True wonder comes from love and being loved.
