the nutcracker is based on a girl meeting her prince, if this doesn't sound right to you than do not take my advice.
The Nutcracker was not based on a book. The Nutcracker was written by Peter Tchaikovsky.
The Nutcracker! :D That one's the most well-known...I'm not sure if there are any other famous Christmas ballet's though. Hope that helps. :)
Ballet
The opera King Rene's Daughter was based on the lyrical drama by the Danish poet Henrik Hertz - 1797-1870. The answer is largely correct, but the question is NOT! There is no "Nutcracker Opera." Tchaikovsky wrote the Nutcracker Ballet and the opera "Iolanta" - two unrelated, separate works - as a double bill for the Maryinsky Theatre, where the two works were premiered in late 1892. "Iolanta" - the opera - is based upon Hertz's "King Rene's Daughter" as noted in the original answer, and "The Nutcracker" - the unrelated ballet - has a scenario based upon the E.T.A. Hoffmann's 1816 tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King."
