The scene is set in a whimsical, bustling, snowy park on Christmas Eve, where a vibrant ice-skating rink takes center stage. At the heart of the rink, a joyful group of eight girls, dressed in colorful, mismatched holiday sweaters and beanies, are gliding gracefully, forming a perfectly synchronized circle. Each girl has unique features, inspired by diverse styles, like one sporting a Peanuts-styled round face with freckles, while another has the manga-inspired large expressive eyes reminiscent of Tezuka's works. Above them, in the starry winter sky, a string of twinkling lights spells out "Dandelion" in playful, swirling letters.

On the sidelines of the rink, a curious spectacle catches the eye. A jovial snowman, in true Calvin and Hobbes style, sports a pair of sunglasses and a wide grin, holding a banner that reads "Verona" with exaggerated comic flair. Nearby, a miniature cityscape, echoing Hergé’s detailed backgrounds, emerges from the snow with tiny cardboard buildings, each painted with intricate holiday decorations. In the foreground, a friendly dachshund wearing a festive scarf and antlers – a nod to Disney's playful animals – zips by on a tiny skateboard, its ears flapping like little flags.

To the side, a giant Christmas tree towers, adorned with bright baubles and sparkling tinsel. Underneath, a collection of oversized gifts feature designs inspired by Eisner’s bold graphic novels, with one box cheekily labeled "Open Me!" in a Crumb-like funky font. At the top of the tree, a star glows warmly, hinting at McCay's dream-like glow, casting a gentle light across the entire scene. This charming, bustling, and delightful tableau is a perfect holiday celebration that ties all elements together in a fun and fantastical narrative.
