Creative Ideas from the Christmas Live Event
Happy Holidays! – Christmas Live Event Review!
Of course, the young artists suggested these crazy ideas …
Durian Reindeer
榴莲驯鹿
Liú lián xún lù
Special note: 驯 is pronounced xún (2nd tone) because it’s an adjective to describe 鹿 / deer.
If you pronounce it as xùn (4th tone), like how it shows on Google Translate, it becomes a verb, which means to train animals.

A Cookie Wearing An Ice Cream Hat
戴着冰淇淋帽子的饼干
Dài zhe bīng qí lín mào zi de bǐng qián
Special note: Ice cream could be written as 冰淇淋（bīng qí lín ）、 冰激凌（bīng jī líng ）、 雪糕（xuě gāo ）、 霜淇淋（shuāng qí lín). So many options! But if you say the most common one: 冰淇淋（bīng qí lín ）everyone will understand what you’re trying to say!

Presents Fondue
礼物锅
Lǐ wù guō
Special note: Fondue in Chinese is the same as hot pot, 火锅（Huǒ guō）, but in casual speech, it tends to be shortened to 锅（guō）with the main ingredient added as an adjective, such as the most well-known kinds of fondue for the winter, cheese fondue, 起司锅（Qǐ sī guō）.

Pepperoni Christmas Tree
辣肠圣诞树
Là cháng shèng dàn shù
辣肠（là cháng）：literally means spicy sausage. Because “pepperoni” is an Italian food, the full name is:
意大利辣香肠（Yìdàlì là xiāngcháng) / Literal translation: Italian Spicy Sausage

Uncle Josef：”Love how you interpreted the Summer Snowman theme! It’s funny to see the Snowman eating ice cream and starting to sweat in the hot sun, standing over a melted pool of water.”
