A sensory theatre show for babies and toddlers aged 0 to 3, from the makers of Little Penguin's First Christmas. Eve likes her home calm and tidy, until a mysterious box lets a little bit of Christmas escape and noisy, snowy chaos takes over. Told with clowning, original music and lots for little ones to see and touch, and the Lowry marks it as baby friendly.
