Join us in the Hundred Acre Wood for an enchanting musical celebration of seasonal sharing and caring, in which Pooh, Piglet, and all their friends help Eeyore have a very merry Christmas!
A very special Friend-and-Relation tells Christopher Robin a story of a Christmas Eve when Eeyore, who lives by himself in the thistle corner of Hundred-Acre Wood, was absolutely miserable. It seems that he lost his tail, so Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet got all of their friends and organized a search. There is a great deal of fun and excitement, plus delightful songs, in the adventure that follows.
