A rust-flecked red locomotive with brass domes and a glowing headlamp puffs smoke into a hushed, snow-laden forest. Beside the track, a fir tree wrapped in tiny lights and hung with gold baubles carries a bright star on its tip.

The low sunset leaves a peach glow behind pale trees, and snowflakes drift through the air. Loose, buttery brushwork and soft blue shadows across the snow give the scene a warm, storybook feel.
