A-level students, winners of olympiads, international contests and competitions, orphans from all over the country gather in the Kremlin on December 26 to take part in the main children's New Year party of Russia.
The Christmas tree for the event was, by tradition, cut down in the Moscow region and brought from the Schelkovo district and to Cathedral Square of the Kremlin. The height of the tree reaches twenty-seven meters, and the age exceeds 100 years.
The tree was decorated with two thousand toys in retro style. The children - future hockey players from the school of Olympic reserve – helped to decorate the tree.
Children are going to watch The Mystery of Planet Earth colorful performance. Fairy-tale characters together with Santa Claus will fight with space pirates and travel on Fantasia spacecraft.
Preparations for the event started long before the winter vacations. A large professional team of artists, decorators and musicians created costumes, scenery and music.
Before the performance children can take part in a disco, contests and games. Guests of New Year's performances in the Kremlin Palace will be able to go to the Santa Claus Mail Office, write a letter to the winter wizard, asking him to fulfill their most cherished wishes, and drop the message into the magic box.
