Funny Christmas cartoon, playful and vibrant. In a snowy African savanna at golden-twilight, Santa Claus hides behind a candy-cane–striped acacia trunk, peeking out with huge eyes and a finger to his lips; a corner of his red coat and a bulging gift sack stick out comically. Around him, safari animals “search” in silly, non-scary ways: a lion with a glittery tinsel mane sniffing candy-cane–shaped footprints; a giraffe tangled in fairy lights with a star perched on its ossicones, bending way down; an elephant with a wreath around its trunk like a radar dish, puffing sparkly snow; a cheetah tiptoeing in reindeer antlers; a couple of meerkats in tiny scarves using a candy cane as a periscope. Snow-dusted acacias decorated with baubles and glowing string lights; a crooked candy-cane sign reads “North-ish.” Sky in a saturated turquoise-to-magenta gradient with oversized twinkling stars. Exaggerated proportions, thick black outlines, bouncy, whimsical poses. 2D cel shading, clean vector feel, bright saturated palette (cherry reds, holly greens, golds, icy teals), playful shadows, gentle falling snow confetti. Wide, slightly low-angle composition so the animals loom while Santa crouches, all very cheerful and slapstick.
