Directed by: Olga Khodatayeva, Pyotr Nosov
Genres: Animation
Starring: Georgi Millyar, Valentina Sperantova

Overview: There are few days before the New Year. Father Frost goes for the Christmas tree in the forest. There he meets Wood Goblin, with whom they have a controversy about what is better: a carpet-plane or a real plane. As a result, Wood Goblin, of course, loses, because he is behind the times and for this he personally delivers the most beautiful Christmas tree with golden cones to the children.
