A Narnia Christmas Carol

I'm sure most of us know Charles Dickens's classic tale, A Christmas Carol, given that has been done so many times (movies, TV, even a Broadway musical). Can you imagine a Narnia version of it? It probably wouldn't be a Christmas special, but it would be fun to think about.

Uncle Andrew or Governor Gumpas as Ebenezer Scrooge

Puzzle or Trufflehunter as the Ghost of Christmas Past

Jewel or Poggin or Drinian as the Ghost of Christmas Present

Shift or Miraz or Rishda as the Ghost of Christmas Future or Yet to Come

Any other ideas?
 
If were going for a straight one to one retelling, I'd actually go with the following:

Definitely Andrew as Scrooge. With Digory Kirke as nephew Fred.

Miraz as Jacob Marley ( greedy, covetous, would have to atone for some sins).

Ramandu's daughter as The Ghost of Christmas Past ( most ethereal and beautiful of the spirits, Star's daughter has that in spades). Possibly Ramandu or Corikakin due to Past being described as male in the book.

Either Father Christmas or Bacchus as Ghost of Christmas Present, as both seem to convey a sense of joy and hope.

And rounding it up, due to his ominous, foreboding nature, and that he doesn't speak, for the Ghost of Christmas Future I'd either go with Father Time or Tash ( Tash possibly winning out due to how CS Lewis and Pauline Baines had seemed to have drawn from Horus, the Egyptian God of War, and Shiva, the Hindu god of Destruction, in crafting the being, and Future always conveyed a sense of death, war and finality, I'd say Tash could fit the bill as Ghost of Christmas Future who conveys that message to Scrooge).

Puggleglum, and a group of Marshwiggles, as the gentlemen talking on the London Street corner after Scrooge's death, saying how they won't go, it'll probably be a cheap funeral, etc.

With this added nugget,
Puddlgglum declared, "Oh, I'll go, but only if lunch is provided. But, I dare say that the food, if there is any, will probably be drab and tasteless, I shouldn't wonder. It usually is the case for most funerals."
