Spoilers ahead

On Christmas Eve, Clara Stahlbaum (Mackenzie Foy) shares her latest invention—a complex device designed to catch mice—with her brother Fritz (Tom Sweet). Afterwards, they join their sister Louise (Ellie Bamber) and their father, Mr. Stahlbaum (Matthew Macfadyen), as he carefully decorates their Christmas tree. Fritz remarks that the ornamentation isn’t quite the same as their mother Marie (Anna Madeley) used to do, which visibly affects everyone present. That evening, Mr. Stahlbaum gifts his children early presents from their late mother, including a mysterious porcelain egg that requires a key to open. Clara is disappointed when she finds no key, but she discovers a note from Marie telling her that everything she needs is inside.
