At the top of the Pixel Art Style image, "Merry Christmas" in bold candy-cane striped 8-bit letters with a snowy pixel drop shadow.

- Crisp 8-bit pixel art, portrait layout, vibrant limited 16–24 color palette, chunky square pixels, nostalgic video-game charm.

- Big central Christmas tree with twinkling pixel lights, shiny ornaments, and a bright star on top.

- A long brown dachshund in a tiny Santa hat cheerfully and safely taped to the midsection of the tree: the pup’s body wraps around the trunk like a garland, held by a few shiny silver duct-tape X’s; tail wagging, tongue out, goofy grin, no distress.

- Comedic chaos: a tiny 8-bit elf on a step stool holding a roll of duct tape, a cat batting at a bauble, one ornament slightly crooked, presents with bone-pattern wrapping.

- Cozy room backdrop: pixel fireplace with stockings, window showing softly falling snow; warm tree glow contrasted with cool moonlight; gentle dithering for shading.

- Clean black outlines, crisp pixels, no blur or anti-aliasing; subtle sparkle particles around the star and lights.

- At the bottom, a small 8-bit caption: "Dachshund through the snow!"
