Romantic, dreamlike surreal Christmas tableau inspired by Dali: an enormous, gentle Nutcracker prince of lacquered wood and gold filigree stands in a moonlit snowfield; his hinge-jaw barely ajar, releasing glowing snowflake-notes that drift toward an adult ballerina muse made of frosted glass and spun sugar, her tutu dissolving into stardust. Between them, a heart-shaped frozen pond mirrors a towering Christmas tree that spirals like a galaxy, its baubles as tiny planets. Candy canes sag and drip like melting clocks; toy soldiers stride on elongated stilt-legs across a horizon of velvet ribbon-roads; a caramel-gold clock-moon hangs low, its light pooling in soft puddles. Constellation-mice sketch a subtle crown in the sky; snowfall looks like musical notation. Ethereal candlelight, rose-gold rim light, and silvery volumetric mist create a romantic glow. Palette: moonlit teal, midnight blue, cranberry velvet, blush pink, champagne gold, ivory. Painterly oil texture with hints of gold leaf, fine detail, dreamy bokeh, soft vignette. Tall, full-bleed composition with generous negative space in the lower right.

Add a small hand-lettered caption in the lower right: “You crack me merry” — shimmering frost script, delicate, subtle, gently curved along a snowdrift. No other text or logos.
