The "Best of Grimm and Co: The Most Beautiful Christmas Fairy Tales" (2022) is an interactive, immersive feature designed to transport audiences into a "gothic and enchanted" world where classic Grimm folklore meets modern festive wonder. Produced by the literacy charity Grimm & Co , this feature likely integrates their signature "Apothecary to the Magical" aesthetic with live storytelling and creative writing workshops. Feature Overview: "The Apothecary’s Winter Anthology"

Participants can access "Story Sleeves," a series of recorded stories—such as The Gruffalo’s Child —accompanied by digital "tips and tricks" to help children keep their own stories "up their sleeves" during the holiday season.

Creative sessions invite children to become "Story Apprentices," participating in activities like Christmas Cake decorating in the apothecary or crafting keepsake boxes to store their written "Christmas miracles".

Drawing inspiration from Northumberland Theatre Company’s 2024 adaptations, the 2022 feature likely used "fast-paced physical theatre" and "gleefully gothic" staging to tell tales like Hansel and Gretel or The Nutcracker .

This feature transforms the traditional Christmas fairy tale into a sensory journey through Grimm & Co's physical and digital spaces.
