Synopsis
Spoiler shield

There are few days before the New Year. Father Frost goes for the Christmas tree in the forest. There he meets Wood Goblin, with whom they have a controversy about what is better: a carpet-plane or a real plane. As a result, Wood Goblin, of course, loses, because he is behind the times and for this he personally delivers the most beautiful Christmas tree with golden cones to the children.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
