The scene is set on a bustling, festive stage within a charming old theater. The proscenium arch is adorned with twinkling Christmas lights, holly wreaths, and golden tinsel that shimmers in the spotlight. The backdrop features a whimsical snowy village, reminiscent of Charles Schulz's cozy settings, where cartoonish, gently falling snowflakes—akin to the delicate detailing found in Osamu Tezuka’s works—add a magical touch.

At center stage, an animated ensemble of Christmas characters puts on a theatrical play. Santa Claus, with an exaggeratedly long, flowing beard in the style of Walt Disney's jolly cartoons, stands in the spotlight, comically juggling brightly wrapped gifts while trying to keep his red and white hat from slipping over his eyes. To his left, a troupe of reindeer dressed in Elizabethan garb prances around, striking dramatic Shakespearean poses, evoking the playful spirit of Bill Watterson’s Calvin and Hobbes.

The mischievous elves, wearing oversized glasses like those seen in Gary Larson’s The Far Side, are busy pulling the ropes backstage, causing a gigantic paper star to descend from the ceiling. As it lowers, it catches a beam of light and casts a shadow that creatively spells out “Aydms” across the snowy backdrop, making it look like a part of the celestial constellations above the village.

In the foreground, a well-dressed penguin wearing a monocle and top hat, reminiscent of Will Eisner’s character precision, sits in an opera box. He’s using a candy cane as a conductor’s baton to lead a choir of chirping robins perched on the edge of the stage, their notes whimsically curling into speech bubbles shaped like Christmas ornaments.

Finally, a cheeky gingerbread man, styled with Hergé's clean lines, scampers across the stage with a tiny red curtain cape, while a nearby snowman with exaggerated R. Crumb-like expressions gives a grandiose bow. The snowman’s hat pops off mid-bow, revealing a hidden tray of steaming hot cocoa cups—because every good theater production needs an intermission treat. The scene captures the festive chaos of a holiday theater show, bursting with color, character, and Christmas cheer, all with a playful nod to beloved cartoon traditions.
