An instrumental "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" plays on a loop on the site. Tweet Street LIVE! The artist Thomas Kinkade has made a fortune selling his idyllic Christmas paintings, which are saccharine-sweet but perfect for the holidays. In "A Victorian Christmas Carol," characters inspired by Charles Dickens stroll through a snow-covered street in their bonnets and top hats.

It got the ad agency redpepper wondering what it would be like combining late-nineteenth century folks with tweets from 2013. They took Kinkade's painting and integrated Twitter's streaming interface, calling it "Christmas on Tweet Street LIVE!"

It doesn't take long to notice how ridiculous Christmas-themed tweets, full of (mostly censored) expletives and emojis, look in a sentimental scene from the past.

If you spend a couple minutes on the site, watching the tweets pop up in speech bubbles over the characters' heads, you'll notice that redpepper used key words and trending topics to instill some traits into the figures. For example:
