It's Ralphie. He is the main character in the Christmas story and can be considered the little tough dude. He shows his toughness by persevering in his quest for the Red Ryder BB gun.

His journey throughout the story, with all its ups and downs, is what makes him that little tough dude.
Ralphie, the little tough dude, is tenacious. He faces many rejections and doubts when it comes to getting his desired BB gun. His mother says it's too dangerous, and his teacher discourages it.

I'm not sure specifically what the 'Tough Cookie Christmas Story' is. It could be a story where a cookie, which is often seen as a fragile thing, is depicted as tough. For example, it could be a cookie that refuses to crumble under pressure during the Christmas chaos. It might be part of a children's book or a local Christmas tale in some places.
Since I don't know the exact story, it could be the tough cookie itself as the main character. There might also be a baker who made the cookie, or characters like Santa Claus if the cookie is related to a Christmas - themed event like being left out for Santa.
Since I don't know the story well, I can only guess. There's probably the tough cookie character. And perhaps there are some supporting characters like a kind old man or woman who helps the tough cookie understand the Christmas spirit. There might also be a child character who is full of Christmas cheer and whose innocence affects the tough cookie.
