In this whimsical Christmas greeting card illustration, imagine a delightful snowy village scene set under a star-studded night sky. At the center, a charming, old-fashioned house with a gingerbread-like facade stands. The house is beautifully adorned with twinkling fairy lights, shimmering icicles hanging from the roof, and windows glowing with a warm, golden light. The surrounding yard is filled with snowmen wearing top hats and scarves, each humorously engaged in an impromptu snowball fight. One snowman is caught mid-throw, his coal-buttoned eyes mischievous, while another is hilariously sprawled on the ground, having slipped on an icy patch.

In the foreground, a jolly Santa Claus, reminiscent of a Rockwell painting, stands with a large sack brimming with sparkling gifts. He's taking a break, sipping on a mug of steaming cocoa, with a splash of it humorously spilling onto the pristine snow. Nearby, an ornate signpost, styled like a Beardsley illustration, points in different directions with signs reading "Merry Christmas!" and "SPARC-ling New Year!", the letters crafted from glittering garlands.

The background features a lush, enchanted forest filled with whimsical creatures—a nod to Maurice Sendak and Beatrix Potter. Rabbits, mice, and even a fox in a bow tie gather, all staring wide-eyed at a massive, elaborately decorated Christmas tree. The tree is adorned with oversized, colorful baubles and topped with a dazzling star, reminiscent of Maxfield Parrish's luminous works. Meanwhile, a sleigh pulled by reindeer, sketched in the intricate style of Gustave Doré, can be seen silhouetted against the moon, leaving a sparkling trail in its wake.

Incorporate a quirky detail inspired by Edward Gorey: an elegantly dressed owl wearing a monocle and a Santa hat, perched on the mailbox. The mailbox is overflowing with holiday cards and letters stamped with holly leaves, suggesting a bustling exchange of seasonal cheer. Finally, draw from Quentin Blake by adding lively, animated characters peering from the windows, their faces alight with excitement, setting the stage for a vibrant, humorous, and SPARC-ling holiday greeting.
