Imagine a whimsical Christmas card scene where the snowy wonderland of Salford's Media City comes alive with festive charm and a touch of magic. At the center of the scene, the renowned Bernina Express, adorned with twinkling fairy lights and wreaths, winds gracefully through a miniature version of Media City, its red carriages a vivid contrast against the white snow blanket. Nearby, an oversized snow globe encases a quaint, sparkling Christmas tree. The globe rests atop a giant vintage suitcase, adding a nostalgic touch reminiscent of Edward Gorey’s world.

In the piazza, which is carpeted in snow, a bustling scene unfolds. A group of carolers, bundled up in vibrant winter attire reminiscent of Beatrix Potter's characters, sings joyously around the base of the snow globe. Meanwhile, TV cameras are strategically positioned, their lenses peeking out from under small snowcaps, capturing the magic for a live broadcast. These cameras are operated by cheerful elves wearing tiny earmuffs and scarves, a nod to Quentin Blake’s whimsical illustrations.

In the background, Media City's iconic buildings are transformed into gingerbread houses with icing-sugar roofs, as if Maurice Sendak had drawn them. Oversized candy canes line the streets, and Arthur Rackham-inspired reindeer prance playfully across the skies, pulling a sleigh laden with gifts. In one corner, a small, enchanting market stall sells hot cocoa, complete with marshmallows, depicted with the kind of detail you'd expect from Norman Rockwell.

To top it all, the sky above is a mesmerizing Maxfield Parrish twilight blue, sprinkled with glittering stars, creating a magical atmosphere that perfectly frames this fantastical Christmas spectacle.
