What is Winter story: a party in the ice palace about?
A fierce snowstorm buries Brambly Hedge, trapping the mice in their homes and covering the paths between them. With winter stores running low and the Snow Ball drawing near, the community must find a way to reach the Ice Palace. Soon, tunnels are cleared through the snow, decorations are prepared and delicious food is gathered. As the mice arrive for the grand celebration, friendship, teamwork and winter magic turn a dangerous snowy day into an unforgettable party.
