Hand-drawn, fine-line illustration in a warm, expressive holiday palette (cranberry reds, pine greens, gingerbread browns, candlelight gold). Cozy North Pole kitchen at evening: Père Noël sits at a wooden table with Mère Noël and a few cheeky lutins, all happily eating cookies. Santa’s beard dusted with crumbs, belt slightly stretched, mid-laugh while holding a half-dipped cookie over steaming cocoa; Mère Noël in a flour-dusted apron playfully tapping his wrist with a wooden spoon as she serves a fresh plate. One elf stacks cookies into a tiny tree, another dunks a cookie causing a splash, a third measures a cookie with a tiny ruler; crumbs fly. Festive details: twinkling fairy lights, pine garlands, candy-cane table runner, snowfall and a curious reindeer nose fogging the window. Balanced composition with the table anchoring the scene; friendly semicircle of characters facing the viewer; a foreground cookie plate slightly out of focus for depth. Textures: textured brush strokes, soft watercolor washes, subtle paper grain; expressive linework for faces and clothing. Lighting: warm candlelike glow with a cool moonlit rim from the window. Mood: funny, cozy, and lively. Portrait orientation.

Include one small, hand-lettered caption along the bottom, playful and subtle: “Avant la tournée: cookies à volonté!” Keep the text minimal and integrated into the art; no other text.
