Pia Amofa-Antwi (known from "Pia and the Wild Nature") sets out on a special mission and ends up in Christmas-time Vienna 200 years ago, the home of composer and conductor Johann Strauss. He was a true pop star in his day. He composed waltzes, mazurkas, and polkas like an assembly line. Waltzes and waffles – that's how you get through the Christmas season in Vienna. And, of course, Christmas carols are part of it! That's when Pia needs some backup: a hearty sing-along is the order of the day!
