A Christmas Cheer for the whole Family
Bright, colorful, sweet, christmassy. Sometimes the items are a bit small and hard to find, especially those golden fir cones. However, sometimes they also stand out from the scene so you can click items without even looking at the list - the pizza ingredient level comes to mind.
Special mention goes to the music track of the game. It's just two pieces, but I found myself happily whistling along while solving the levels.
For me there were a bit too many Find the Differences scenes. One riddle ("Find the bag for your country") did not make sense to me - I never heard that we are known for weight lifting.
Bottom Line: It's a wonderful Christmas game. Need something to cheer you up? Get this game. Three stars for limited season appeal, outdated graphics and sometimes way too small objects.

Pretty and pretty tricky
The artwork in this HO game is really pretty, but...it's more stylized than realistic, making it tricky to identify the objects you are searching for, such as in the grocery shop. In other scenes, like the toy store, the toys are really hidden among each other, and you have to be able to see just a bit of something and recognize it. This game will either be an enjoyable challenge or a frustration, depending upon your point of view.

Not As Easy As It Looks
Music is good, objects hard to find (especially gold cones), but a fun, and somewhat challenging game. Played the demo in 55 mins. Seems longer, so good value. Lots of "find the differences" puzzles with NO skips. Can get more hints by playing match 3 whenever you have 0 hints. All, in all, a good seasonal game. Story is simple, but nice. Its a buy for me. No excessive clicking penalty either!

Can't get past the constellation game
Once you get to the constellation mini-game the game is over- the small stars are impossible to move. Tap all u want they won't budge. And there is no way to opt out of mini games or turn off the timer. The game was fun before I got stuck.

Super cute holiday cheer
This game is super cute. Great holiday pick up. Hidden object scenes are bright and cheery. Extra bonus items, candy canes and santa doll are a great addition. I recommend this game to cure any holiday blues!

Great Christmas Game!!
The 60 minute trial doesn't do it justice. Just needed to adjust brightness on my computer, then had no problem locating the gold pine cones. Unique mini-puzzles, gameplay, awesome graphics and absolutely love the festive music and storyline, relaxed challenge. I don't think anyone could refrain from tapping your toes to the music. My favorite Holiday Game ... 5 Stars! Merry Christmas everyone!!

I found this game to be a bit tedious
The artwork was nice but it was hard to find things, simply because they weren't real and you weren't sure what to look for. I didn't find the story line to be very entertaining and the music started getting on my nerves. I was ready to quit by the end of the free trial.

What a fun Christmas theme game!
We didn't even finish the demo before we purchased. There are many levels of "we don't want to stop playing" fun! We haven't finished, but from what we have played the story is nice and the music uplifting. There is a variety of games. So far, there have been hidden object, match, find a number of objects and find the difference. From the map, it seems we have quite a few more levels to go and we have only played for about half an hour. This will be a nice break during the sometimes hectic holiday season!

I lost interest in this game very quickly. There are other Christmas games that are more challenging and fun to play!
