At the top of the Illustration Style image, "Merry Mini Christmas, Sophie!"

Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework, textured brush strokes, balanced composition, and a warm, expressive color palette. Portrait orientation. A classic candy-apple red Mini Cooper chugs through a snowy lane, oversized evergreen Christmas tree comically strapped to the roof with twine; the tree is so tall it arches and bends, showering pine needles, its star tipping cheekily toward the text. A big, friendly brown bear squeezed behind the tiny steering wheel wears a Santa hat and a long striped scarf flapping out the window; one paw waves enthusiastically, cheeks puffed in determined concentration. The car’s suspension sags under the tree, wheels slightly splayed, leaving a wobbly trail in the snow; a couple of baubles dangle from branches, bobbing with motion. Warm headlight glow and twinkly fairy lights on the tree contrast with cool blue-violet snow shadows. Snow-dusted fir trees frame the scene left and right, with a cozy lamppost and a tiny robin perched on the topmost branch for scale and whimsy.

Style notes: fine pen outlines with varied line weight, gentle hatching, watercolor-and-gouache washes, visible paper grain. Palette of deep evergreen, cranberry red, cinnamon and gold accents, cocoa-brown fur, creamy whites with icy blue shadows. Subtle motion lines, soft snowfall, and a light vignette to focus attention. Hand-letter the caption in a playful, slightly bouncy script in warm gold, small and unobtrusive. Avoid photorealism; keep it cheeky, energetic, and festive. No additional text.
