In the foreground of the illustration, picture a long banquet table set up outdoors on a snowy hilltop under a night sky bursting with stars and a large, glowing moon. The table is draped with a fancy white tablecloth that has snowflakes embroidered along the edges. A series of small, quirky clock towers of varying designs run down the center as table decorations, each clock showing a different time, symbolizing different time zones celebrating the New Year. Some clocks have rabbit ears, reminiscent of Beatrix Potter, while others are crafted in the Gothic style of Aubrey Beardsley, with intricate and fantastical details.

Seated at the table are a series of animals dressed in formal attire. Imagine a dapper fox wearing a top hat and monocle, reminiscent of Edward Gorey's style, and a hedgehog in a tiny tuxedo nervously adjusting his bow tie. Next to them, a sophisticated raccoon is pouring tea from a teapot shaped like a Big Ben tower, echoing the whimsy of Quentin Blake. There’s a bear wearing a vintage tailcoat akin to the attire of Norman Rockwell’s characters, raising a toast with a glass of sparkling cider.

Above the table, strings of fairy lights crisscross, twinkling like the stars above. The backdrop features trees with swirling, Maxfield Parrish-esque branches that curl elegantly against the deep blue sky. A large, vintage pocket watch hangs from a branch, its hands poised at midnight, ready to ring in the new year.

In the distance, beyond the party, there's a small, fairy-tale village nestled in the snow, its warm yellow windows glowing invitingly. The snowflakes falling around the scene have an almost Doré-like, intricate lace pattern, each flake unique in design.

This scene combines formal and fantastical elements, creating a humorous juxtaposition that pays homage to the featured artists while telling a whimsical story of animals celebrating the New Year in style.
