Alright, so let’s see if I can figure out who’s who.
 
  • Twilight is definitely Rudolph.  
  • Fluttershy looks a lot like Karen from the original Frosty special.  
  • Rarity looks like Mrs. Claus from Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town.  
  • Angel Bunny is Peter Cottontail.  
  • Spike is the spotted elephant from Rudolph.  
  • Pinkie is Hermey the Elf.  
  • Rainbow Dash might be Jack Frost from Frosty’s Winter Wonderland.  
  • Not sure who AJ is supposed to be. The blonde hair and freckles remind me of Fireball from Rudolph, but AJ has those naturally, so…

The Rankin-Bass tribute I’d like to see would be Nightmare Moon and Nightmare Star acting like Cold Miser and Heat Miser towards each other.

Anypony else here old enough to remember Nestor, The Long-eared Christmas Donkey? Seems like there should at least be a TV meme with crying Fluttershy pic of it on here but there isn’t.

I was wondering what the heck the artist was smoking until I saw the Rankin-Bass reference mentioned in the description. It really is a good rendition of that style. Though I’m still wondering why Spike has spots.

At least going by Amy’s twitter, this cover is off-putting for many, but likely because they don’t recognize the reference. In 2d, it is definitely uncanny valley-appearing, but spot on for those that know.
