Many people love to use the festive period as a chance to completely re-decorate their homes, with festive cushions, duvet covers and even Christmas crockery.
However, one woman who was not impressed by her mum's choice of décor was Ana Bazant who took to TikTok to shame her mother's bathroom decorations.
Sharing a clip of herself looking very unimpressed, Ana said: "Unfortunately my mum has fallen victim to Temu."
Ana then panned the camera around to show off her mother's bathroom, which was almost completely covered in matching snowman decorations.

Why is Temu so cheap?
TEMU exploded onto the scene in late 2022, with people all over social media raving about the low prices.
The company is a Chinese-owned digital marketplace - essentially an online shopping app where people are connected to the retailer directly while the app takes care of the shipping element.
The frenzy over the app is not completely unfounded either as it offers a wide variety of products, including fashion, make-up, electronics and furniture.
from the US House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Temu takes advantage of a trade loophole that allows the company to ship duty-free goods directly to the US.
The loophole is called the de minimis exception and it means they can ship goods valued up to $800 (£643) to the US without it being inspected or taxed by US customs.
Temu connects customers directly to manufacturers and only manages how the items are sent to customers.
It means Chinese vendors can essentially sell their products directly to customers and ship it without building a network of warehouses across the globe.
By doing this, they cut down on huge costs and ensure the product itself isn’t marked up extra.
While many of the products seen on the Temu app are from brands with extensive, original collections, many more are dupes of designer brands.
One person said: "It's so tacky, but so cute."
A second person said: "Leave us Temu mums alone.
