A big thank you team on giving us this puzzle.
Santaclaus, it looks more complicated than it is: lots of nuts, cinnamon sticks, dehydrated orange slices and orange peel curlicues (easy to do with a little bit of atience), then you have different shapes of cookies decorated with royal icing. To me the cookies look like they are from gingerbread type dough (they are resilient, you can even poke a hole in them at the top to hang them) and royal icing, which dries and hardens nicely and is basically egg whites with sugar and a little bit of glycerin for shine and flavor essences. For a recipe I recommend goggling it at Martha Stewart, Wilton or Alton Brown, same for the gingerbread cookies recipe. If you cannot find cookie cutters like these you can always make a paper pattern and cut the shapes by hand with an X-acto knife or ask an artisan to cut them for you from copper sheet.
