Nutcracker Duel Under the Christmas Tree

A tall Christmas tree fills the background, topped with a star and strung with beads and round ornaments. In front, the Nutcracker soldier plants one boot and lifts his straight sword high. His tall hat, neat buttons, and serious mustache make him look ready and brave. He leans forward, eyes sharp, coat tail swinging.

Across from him, the Mouse King crouches low with a curved saber. His crown tilts above twitching ears, and a cape sweeps behind him while his long tail curls. The two blades cross right under the sparkling branches. Baubles dot the scene like tiny moons, turning the standoff into a festive stage.

Fun Fact!

The tradition of giving gifts at Christmas is a reminder of the gifts the Three Wise Men brought to the baby Jesus.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Shade the tree with two greens: lighter inside, darker edges to show fluffy branches.
  2. 2 Use red and gold on the Nutcracker coat and buttons; add a tiny white shine on each sword.
  3. 3 Give the Mouse King a royal purple or deep red cape and a bright yellow crown.
  4. 4 Color each ornament a different color, then add little stars or dots for sparkle.
