For the khorovod and singing Russian favorite New Year's songs Ded Moroz played garmoshka when Snow Queen used the Russian folk instrument balalaika. This was the second time for brand new colorful valenki, and red costume for Ded Moroz. Сверкающий голубыми огнями обновлённый посох Дедушки Мороза чуть не был случайно оставлен в ресторане. Хорошо, что Снегурочка вспомнила, и вернула важный атрибут Новогоднего праздника забывчивому дедушке.
