The scene unfolds in a whimsical winter wonderland where kingfishers reign supreme, wearing tiny crowns fashioned from holly and mistletoe. Picture a bustling snowy landscape akin to a Rockwellian town square but inhabited entirely by these colorful birds. At the center, a regal kingfisher stands atop a throne carved from a large gingerbread cookie, iced with snow-white frosting. Surrounding the throne is a court of kingfishers, each perched on candy cane staff-like branches. The birds are all busy decorating a colossal Christmas tree that towers above them, its branches brimming with glistening ornaments shaped like fish, echoing Rackham's fantastical creatures.

The ground is a patchwork quilt of snow and frozen ponds, with Beardsley-esque intricate patterns sketched into the ice, serving as an impromptu skating rink for those kingfishers who are off duty. A few of the more playful birds are engaged in a snowball fight, their iridescent feathers gleaming like Beatrix Potter’s charming critters, while another group strings popcorn garlands across the scene, reminiscent of Blake's carefree line work. Off to the side, a Maurice Sendak-inspired whimsical snowman, complete with a birdseed top hat, provides a perch for a small choir of singing kingfishers, caroling beneath a garland of twinkling fairy lights strung between the branches of two ancient, gnarled trees. The trees, imbued with the mysterious aura of a Gorey illustration, stretch their skeletal branches towards a twilight sky painted in Parrish's signature ethereal hues.
