Hurvínek na scéně
When you say Mikuláš, everyone imagines a mysterious man with a white beard, a tall hat, and a staff in his hand, accompanied by an angel and a devil. Good children are given gifts, while naughty ones receive a stocking full of coal. Hurvínek and Mánička also waited impatiently for Mikuláš to arrive. However, the absent-minded Mr. Spejbl forgot about the gifts, so Hurvínek and Mánička decide to remedy this "outrage" by dressing up as the devil and St. Nicholas themselves and surprising their father and grandmother. But Grandma reminds Mr. Spejbl of the forgotten event, so Mr. Spejbl has to get a devil costume too... And what happens when there are more devils than there should be? A fairy tale full of suspense, but also songs and winter fun. And have you seen Mánička ice skating?
