Christmas in the forest

In a quiet winter forest bathed in moonlight and glowing with festive cheer, a fox, a fluffy raccoon, and a curious cardinal gather around a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The star atop the tree casts a warm golden glow, illuminating the snow and gifts below. Surrounded by twinkling lights and snow-dusted pines, this peaceful scene captures the quiet wonder of a holiday moment shared across species—a magical truce and celebration in nature’s heart.

This piece was created as part of a special Christmas card design, inspired by the idea of unexpected companionship and warmth during the winter season. I wanted to capture a gentle, storybook feeling—something that feels both nostalgic and magical. By illustrating woodland animals coming together in a cozy, glowing moment, I hoped to bring a little wonder and peace to whoever receives the card, like a quiet pause in the middle of holiday chaos.
