English term or phrase: Dickensian gingerbread lattes
Es parte de un discurso, que incluyo a continuación:

We are here today, 28 days before Christmas, behind so many layers of billboards, with supermodels looking down on us in their Christmas lingerie, billboards covered with fake Dickensian gingerbread lattes—we’re going to go out across this shopping-addicted country.

Que yo sepa "latte" es un café con leche, "gingerbread" es pan de jengibre, según creo con connotaciones navideñas en los EE.UU., pero la traducción completa no la acabo de visualizar. Supongo que se refiere a una imagen que parece sacada de un cuento de Dickens... Espero que me podáis ayudar, y muchas gracias de antemano.

Reflecting on this, for your purposes I wonder if you could shorthand it to : *café con sabor falsamente dickensiano* or similar?
