Je Štedrý deň. Súrodenci Marienka a Frico sa nevedia dočkať večera. Už od skorého rána počujú, ako to v dome šuchoce, štrngoce a buchoce. Čo si nájdu pod vianočným stromčekom? Splnia sa im sny? Marienku však najviac zo všetkého neupútajú darčeky, lež čudný drevený panáčik na sviatočnom stole... a čaro Vianoc začína pôsobiť. Hračky pomaly ožívajú a z dreveného Luskáčika je odvážny princ, ktorý ju pozve do svojho kráľovstva.
