The Snow Queen

Audiences follow brother and sister Pip and Pelle on an adventure to save the winter village of Snödal and thaw the Snow Queen's frozen heart. The family performance features real-life snow along with appearances from Johan the Moose, a band of Vikings, and snowball-fighting elves. The characters also take time to celebrate the Swedish tradition of fika along the way.
