The scene is a warm indoor studio with decorated Christmas trees, lights, wreaths, and gift boxes in the background. There are wooden bookshelves or fireplace decorations on the wall. The overall setting is retro and fairy tale-like. Warm, soft yellow light shines on the characters’ faces, the skin looks delicate and natural, the tone is warm, with a slight film feel, high-definition style, full of Christmas atmosphere, and no text.”
