Você tem headcanon pra como é a relação que as famílias das Big Five (Bela Adormecida, Bela da Fera, Cinderela, Branca de Neve e Rapunzel) têm com as festividades de Natal/Yule/Solstício?

My headcanon is that that Christmas in the fairy tale world is a mish-mash of medieval Christmas traditions and modern Christmas traditions.

Since the Charmings invited all the kingdom for their royal balls, I don't see why they wouldn't invite all the people for the Christmas feasts.

Giants feasts with puddings, roasted ducks, fruits, and a giant boar head, that was a medieval Christmas tradition for some reason.

For the adults it's a time for get drunk and party very hard. I once heard pre industrial Christmas be described as a mixture of Halloween, New Year's, and Mardi Gras. People dress up in fur costumes and wooden masks, people get really drunk, sing silly and comedic songs, people celebrate with their communities for the whole month of December and the first six days of January.

The princes get drunk and engage in tavern fights all the time. There's a time where Beauty had to go to apart a bar fight and by seeing her frown all the people froze on their spot. She knows well how to domesticate beasts.

Cinderella and Snow White do most all the cooking and get easily offended if one tries to get away in their plans.

Rapunzel still get scared by all the drunk revelry since she was raised most in a tower, and is still very shy. The other princesses always get together to make her a cozier, more personal Christmas, away from all the winter shenanigans and royal duties.

Sleeping Beauty is very concerned about bringing back the Christmas/Yule traditions when she was a child, one hundred years ago.

The fairies and the dwarfs have their own winter holidays that since the Big Five came to power where synchronized with the the regular Christmas traditions. Think of something similar to the Green Knight

For children is a time for presents and sweets. I'm still in doubt about the Santa tradition and which tradition to use.

Since the big five are all protagonists of German and french tales, the German side would most probable ask that by December Five they would receive a visit from St. Nicholas and Knetch Ruprecht bringing sweets, and by Christmas they receive the Christ Kind bringing their gifts. The french side would ask the same, but by Christmas they would receive the Pere Noel, a more straightforward depiction of Santa.

And there is still a part of me that wants to get crazy and depict the fairy tale Santa as a giant monster goat inspired by the Norwegian traditions of the Yule Goat.

I like Santa as giant goat figure because it marries the Christmas and Yule traditions together. There's something charming about their Santa being a giant goat monster with giant horns, but still having the jolly Santa personality. I imagine him looking a little like a bit like Asgore Dreemurr of the game Undertale.

Rapunzel's twins still get a little frightened by him, but the other children and the fairies assure them there's nothing to fear. Day is a bit of a troublemaker, and always worries if he got in Santa's Nice list. Little Aurora is always well behaved, and they bicker a lot about it.
