The image features a solid green background. On the left side, there are multiple red-and-white striped candy canes arranged vertically; some are partially cropped at the top edge of the frame. The right side and bottom-left contain pixelated text in bright red: 'have yourself' appears above 'a merry little christmas', while 'let your heart be light!' is positioned to the right of that phrase. All text uses a blocky, low-resolution font typical of early digital graphics.
