There is an easter egg hidden in the shredded pieces.

There are strange entries if we look at the User Comment fields:

exiftool  fee303dd-7a89-452c-a51b-16c4fdb01884.jpg | grep "User Comment"
User Comment                    : WyI9VURPIiwgIiBmciJd

echo "WyI9VURPIiwgIiBmciJd" | base64 -d
["=UDO", " fr"]

If we extract those metadata fields from every image we get a collection:

...
["xAzN", "mal"]
["3MjN", "sid"]
["5ATN", "min"]
["wQDO", "the"]
...

The first column is a reversed base64 encoded field again. So if we reverse and decode these fields we get numbers from 1 to 1000. If we sort them the text fragments in the second column result in a readable story.

Long ago in the snowy realm of the North Pole (not too faraway if you're a reindeer) there existed a magical land ruled by a mysterious figure known as the Great Claus. Two spirited elves Twinkle and Jangle roamed this frosty kingdom defending it from the perils of holiday cheerlessness. Twinkle sporting a bright red helmet-shaped hat that tilted just so as quick-witted and even quicker with a snowball. Jangle a bit taller wore a green scarf that drooped like a sleepy reindeer's ears.Together they were the Mistletoe Knights the protectors of the magical land and the keepers of Claus' peace.One festive morning the Great Claus summoned them for a critical quest. 'Twinkle angle the time has come he announced wit a voice that rumbled like thunder across the ice plains. 'The fabled Never-Melting Snowflake a relic that grants one wish lies hidden beyond the Peppermint Expanse. Retrieve it and all marshmallow supplies will be secured!' Armed with Jangle's handmade map (created with crayon and a lot of optimism) the duo set off aboard their toboggan the Frostwing. However the map led them in endless loops around the Reindeer Academy much to the amusement of trainee reindeer perfecting their aerial maneuvers. Blitzen eventually intercepted them chuckling 'Lost fellas? The snowflake isn't there.Try the Enchanted Peppermint Grove!' Twinkle facepalmed as Jangle pretended to adjust his map. With Blitzen's directions they zoomed off again this time on the right course. The Peppermint Grove was alive with its usual enchantments-candy cane trees swayed and sang ancient ballads of epic sleigh battles and the triumphs of Claus' candy cane squadrons. Twinkle and Jangle joined the peppermint choir their voices harmonizing with the festive tune. Hours later the duo stumbled upon a hidden cave guarded by giant gumdrop sentinels (luckily on their lunch break). Inside the air shimmered with Claus' magic. There it was the Never-Melting Snowflake listening on a pedestal of ice. Twinkle's eyes widened 'We've found it Jangle! The key to infinite marshmallows!' As Twinkle reached for the snowflake a voice boomed from the cave walls 'One wish you have.Choose wisely or face the egg-nog of regret.' Without hesitation Jangle exclaimed 'An endless supply of marshmallows for our cocoa!' The snowflake glowed and with a burst of magic marshmallows poured down covering the cave in a fluffy sweet avalanche.Back at the workshop the elves were hailed as heroes-the Marshmallow Knights of Claus. They spent the rest of the season crafting new cocoa recipes and sharing their bounty with all. And sounder the twinkling stars of the northern skies Twinkle and Jangle continued their adventures their mugs full of cocoa their hearts full of joy and their days full of magic. For in the North Pole every quest was a chance for festive fun and every snowflake was a promise of more marshmallows to come.
