Based on the title, the main character is likely the 'fruitcake lady'.
In some Christmas stories, the 'fruitcake lady' could be a kind - hearted neighbor. She might be the one who gives out fruitcakes as gifts during Christmas. Fruitcakes are a traditional Christmas treat in many cultures, and she could be a symbol of the holiday spirit, spreading cheer with her delicious (or perhaps not - so - delicious, as fruitcakes have a bit of a reputation) cakes.
The fruitcake lady might represent tradition. Her presence and the fruitcake she offers are part of the long - standing Christmas customs in the story's setting. Fruitcakes have been associated with Christmas for a long time, so she keeps that connection alive. She may also be a link to the past, perhaps reminding other characters of Christmases from their childhood or of their family's heritage.
Once upon a time, there was a kind Fruitcake Lady. Every Christmas, she would make dozens of fruitcakes. One Christmas, a poor family in the village couldn't afford a proper meal. The Fruitcake Lady heard about it and brought them a big, delicious fruitcake. It was so warm and filling that it made their Christmas special.
Well, perhaps the fruitcake lady could be a key character in a Christmas story. Maybe she's known for making the best fruitcakes during Christmas time, and the story could revolve around her spreading Christmas cheer with her delicious cakes.
I'm not entirely sure which specific 'the fruitcake lady a christmas story' you are referring to. It could be a local or personal story.

The main character is the lady in black, of course. But not much more can be said without knowing the specific details of the story.
The main character is the lady in white herself. She is usually depicted as a mysterious woman dressed all in white.
Jesus is often considered the main character in the Christmas story. Christmas commemorates His birth. According to the Bible, His birth was a miraculous event. Mary, His mother, also plays a very important role. An angel visited her and told her she would give birth to the Son of God. Joseph, Mary's husband, is also part of the story as he took care of Mary and Jesus.
In the classic 'A Christmas Carol', the main character is Ebenezer Scrooge. He is a miserly old man who is visited by three spirits on Christmas Eve and through their influence, he transforms into a more kind and generous person.
