✨ Christmas in Fantasy Worlds: How Would Your Favorite Heroes Celebrate It? ✨
Christmas is a magical time, and while not every fantasy world has Santa Claus, how about imagining how some of our favorite heroes would celebrate the holiday? In this article, we speculate how Christmas traditions would be transformed if they were adapted to the epicness and charm of their universes. Accompanied by some illustrations full of magic and humor!
🎄 1. Gandalf and Christmas in Middle Earth
In Rivendell, Christmas would be an elegant affair, full of light and song. Gandalf would lead the decoration of the Great Hall with garlands of golden leaves and candles that never go out. Of course, the tree would not be just any fir: it would be a mallorn from Lothlórien!
The hobbits would bring feasts worthy of the Shire, with tables laden with mince pies, honey bread, and craft beers. Frodo would deliver small but meaningful gifts, while Aragorn would tell stories by the fire.

🎄 2. Jon Snow and Christmas in Winterfell
At Winterfell, Christmas would be austere but endearing. Jon Snow and Sansa would host a feast in the Great Hall, with warm dishes to combat the harsh winter. The Stark children would hang ornaments made of carved wood and animal horns on the castle walls.
The celebration would include Nordic songs performed by the castle soldiers and a friendly sword fight in the courtyard to entertain the attendees. Of course, Ghost the direwolf would receive his own special portion of meat.

🎄 3. The Vikings and Yule in Asgard
In Viking tradition, Yule is a winter festival filled with feasting, mead, and song. In Asgard, Thor would lead the festivities with a contest of strength in which warriors would try to lift the hammer Mjolnir as a game of "who finds the hidden gift."
Odin, like a mythical Santa Claus, would travel the realms leaving gifts to those who have shown bravery in battle. Meanwhile, Loki would surely try to ruin the party with some mischief, such as switching the gifts for snakes.

🎄 4. Geralt of Rivia and the Witcher's Christmas
On the mainland, Geralt would spend Christmas away from the hustle and bustle, perhaps in a cozy inn with Yennefer and Ciri. The table would be full of local delicacies, and there would be no shortage of wyvern stew (prepared with ingredients "obtained" during a recent quest).
The inn would be decorated with furs, crossed swords and a tree adorned with protective herbs and amulets. Dandelion, as always, would be in charge of singing unlikely songs about Geralt saving Christmas.

🎄 5. The Jedi and Christmas in a Galaxy Far, Far Away
At the Jedi Temple, Christmas would become a spiritual celebration, focusing on meditation and the Force. Padawans would hang illuminated lightsaber-like decorations on a large holographic tree.
Meanwhile, Han Solo and Chewbacca would organize a rebellious version of Christmas, with sleigh races powered by speeder engines and a shooting contest with floating ornaments as targets.
