Nutcrackers is based on a true story in the sense that the kids in Nutcrackers are not actors, and were more or less being themselves on screen. They are the kids of a friend of David Gordon Green’s, and it was their real-life dynamic that inspired Green to make the movie in the first place.

The stars of Hulu's 'Nutcrackers' share a few fun family traditions and their inspiration for making this wholesome Christmas movie.
