The story of the magic potato begins with a little girl eating fries while driving around town in the back seat of a car. With each bite, the Christmas atmosphere flares up around her. She observes passers-by with piles of presents in front of the Maribor Narodni dom, as well as spruces and lanterns next to the Franciscan Church. Then the car crosses the bridge and again the lights turn on. Arriving at the Main Square, a completely different world awaits her, a real Christmas fairy-tale. Alongside the colorful carousel, which became a popular Instagram spot for for passers-by in October, when the commercial was filmed in Maribor, you can also see a carousel in the shape of a prater panoramic bike, and a lively holiday fair with thousands of warm glowing lights, spruces and ornaments.
