A young boy, his sister, parents and grandma - plus their dog - were busy putting the final touches on their evergreen in this puzzle from ().
Still, there were lots more items to be found within this heartwarming scene which also included a wreath over a fireplace.
The objects you need to spot to claim brain teaser victory include a cat, mini tree, festive mug, glass of champagne, rocking horse, Santa hat, snowman, candlestick, lollipop, and a piece of wrapped candy.
Before you have to start straining your eyes, the easiest find of all was the brown cat with wide yellow eyes hiding in the middle of the tree surrounded by lights and candy canes.
Grandma might have been busy holding her tray of freshly baked gingerbread cookies, but there was more work to be done.
The next two finds to be spotted included the mug with the star on it and the champagne glass.
Both items were sneakily hiding within picture frames on the wall behind the tree with an image of a dog in between the two.
As dad held up the little girl so that she could top off the tree with a yellow star, something could be seen at the bottom of his sweater - Santa's hat, with the pom pom just above grandma's head.

And he wasn't the only one hiding something.
If you look closely, the rocking horse was visible within the circular pattern on orange and red sweater.
Now time to go back to the tree.
Scan one row of lights and then the red ornament above the hiding cat and you will see it: the bell with a bow inside the red stocking.
With more objects to go, you can still prove your puzzle testing skills.
To the left of the brown kitty, underneath a string of lights, was the wrapped candle within the candy cane hanging on the tree.
While the top of the wrapper was seen within the ribbon around the candy cane, the bottom of the wrapper blended in with the green of the tree.
Now it was time to take this search up a notch - or at least above the pet cat.
Just follow the string of lights over the animal and within the first blue ornament to the left is the lollipop - swirl and all.
Complete with a star on top, a smaller sized version of the family's Christmas tree was spotted on the boy's green sweater as he sat next to the real tree with another ornament in hand.
Within the ornament box next to the boy was another find.
Look a bit closer and you will see how the three ornaments lined in a row - two blue with one orange ball in the middle - plus a little red square hat - all add up to one very festive snowman.
In between the ornament box and spotted dog with the blue ribbon tied around his neck who was trying to snag some cookies from grandma's tray, was this find: the red striped candle.
If you spotted them all, you can now be crowned the puzzle whizz of the season.
