Production

The creators spent two years developing a unique mythology for the film, inspired by the New Year celebrations throughout different periods of Russian history. Over 50 intricate costumes were designed, including eight for Father Frost (Santa Claus) and three for his antagonist, Karachun. Makeup artists dedicated several hours daily to creating natural-looking beards, mustaches, and wigs for all the characters.

A large creative team worked diligently to create a magical atmosphere. Artists and graphic designers constructed immersive new worlds, such as the Santa Claus Corporation with secret rooms, an archive for letters to Santa Claus, and training halls for young magicians. They also designed the headquarters of the Morozov brothers at the North Pole and Karachun's lair.

A computer graphics supervisor was present on set daily, and stuntmen participated in nearly 70% of the scenes.

The location filming took place from December last year on the streets of New Year's Moscow, all the main and large-scale events of the tape unfolded in places not only iconic for the New Year, but also supporting the atmosphere with their festive decoration and illumination - the Central Children's Store on Lubyanka, Red Square, Tsaritsyno Palace, Patriarch Ponds and Tverskaya Street.
