"Drei Nuesse fuer Aschenbroedel" ("three hazelnuts for Cinderella"). It's a classic for me (and any other German), but it's in German.

Have you seen 'this Christmas '
It was on last year I had never heard of it before but was quite enjoyable. The video at the end I'm gonna try to get the family to do this year but don't think they will.

It's actually a Czech film but we dub everything in Germany. It's shown on German TV every Christmas. It's the story of a Cinderella during wintertime. She rides a white horse called Nikolaus and she hunts and is a proper little tomboy. She gets given 3 hazelnuts one day and they give her different clothing for different "meet the prince" occasions. The music is beautiful too, and the prince is very pretty.

If it's originally a Czech film I might even be able to find one with English or Dutch subs :D Good to know that the prince is pretty!

I saw that one in cinema with my mum when it came out - not exactly what we were expecting but hilarious nonetheless!
