Holiday That Beat All Expectations

Jan 12, 2026

Right in the middle of the winter break, the main hall of the Palace of Culture was packed with young viewers. CMK put together a New Year’s event for its employees’ kids, taking them to the musical fairy-tale show “Once Upon a Time, in a Kingdom…”.

From the very first minutes, this magical journey — full of bright colors and exciting adventures — won over both the kids and their parents. The sparkling eyes of the children and the genuine smiles of the adults said it all: the show was a hit, with good once again triumphing over evil.

And it didn’t end there. Every child received a sweet gift and got the chance to take photos with their favorite fairy-tale characters, capturing those magical moments to remember for a long time.

Nadezhda Nekrasova, a specialist in the internal reporting and analytics team of the sales department, shared her impressions after attending the show with her daughter Katya:

— Katya and I absolutely love New Year fairy tales and try not to miss them. But this performance went way beyond our expectations! We had such a great time — it was truly amazing. What really touches us is how much our Company cares about the kids. It’s so nice that they didn’t just organize tickets to a fairy-tale show, but also prepared sweet gifts for the children.

The Sukhov family — Olga, a controller from Workshop No. 500, her husband Oleg, their 8-year-old daughter Anya, and 13-year-old son Vitaly — were just as thrilled:

— Every year we look forward to the New Year performance, and every year it gets brighter, bigger, and more spectacular. The performers are real pros, the costumes are stunning, and the sets truly transport you into a fairy tale, creating a sense of real magic. Our whole family had an incredible time and got a huge boost of holiday spirit. And the kids’ gifts are a special joy of their own. Thank you so much for this unforgettable celebration. We’re already looking forward to next year to dive back into this New Year’s fairy tale again.

This vibrant event became a real highlight of the winter holidays for the children of CMK employees. The kids’ excitement and the parents’ gratitude are the best proof that the Company’s New Year performance was a true gift — one that filled young hearts with joy and belief in a New Year miracle.
