December 2025 – Santa’s Retro Countdown – Win £10

This Month’s Winner Is…
Paul
DOB: 10/01/1978
[Claimed]

Every day you’ll see a festive image with a nostalgic twist. Hidden inside is a classic Christmas item for you to identify. Some will be unmistakable, others might take you back a few decades. A brand new seasonal challenge awaits you daily.

You just need to guess the festive item we are looking for. If you get it right, you will earn 2 entries into the prize draw. Even if your guess is not correct, you will still receive 1 entry just for taking part. At the end of the month, all entries will be pooled together, and one lucky winner will be drawn at random.

The competition started on 1st December 2025 and runs until the end of the month. The final question will be posted on 31st December 2025, with the winner announced here on 1st January 2026. The winner will then have 24 hours to claim their £10 cash prize. If the prize is not claimed by 11am on 2nd January 2026, it will be forfeited, and no late claims will be accepted.

The more you look at today’s (31st) AI-generated picture, the funnier it gets

Member

So….apparently 2026 February has 31 days, 31st being Saturday, but the 1st of March is Friday! I see what you mean 🤣😂🤣😂🤣. I wonder how many are double checking their calenders now 😉

Happy New Year everyone 😁👍

Member
Khadija

I asked my dil what she thought today’s was and she quickly texted back “ financial damage “!!

Member
Lostkiwi

So is today’s a list or receipt? Or am I totally wrong? 🤔🤷‍♀️

Member
purplevamp

No idea, I’ve found the whole month quite difficult. Thinking it was one thing but then the answer is something totally different!

Member
krispii

I put Christmas shopping

Member
hornetcarp

Member
Khadija

Member
Pamela Hamby

Member
DivitLad

Member
Lostkiwi

They’re sliders! I just put socks. As for today’s. Who knows 🤷‍♀️

Member
Susan

I’m the same. I put socks and they are not slippers they are sliders.

Member

I put drinks as well since it showed a can I thought is was a soft drink so didn’t think it was alcohol.

Member
Justin

I just put exactly what I saw “alcohol”. I can’t stand the taste of it now and way to expensive.

Member
Khadija

I put drinks! Not booze or alcohol. Wonder if it will be acceptable?

Member
Julie

I did too

Member
purplevamp

Same, as the can could be a soft drink.

Member
Sally

Yes exactly, the can looks like an energy drink more than anything alcoholic with the lightning logo IMO…I also just put ‘drinks’.

Member
Alison

I put a Christmas drink. We could really do with a points tally, so we know what we scored, it is annoying not knowing whether it was deemed right or not.

Member
Khadija

I just put nutcracker.

Member
Stuart

Me too

Member
Wendy

I put toy soldier, not sure on todays though!

Member
Khadija

Me too. Not sure

Member
Khadija

Any help with today’s?

Member
DivitLad

I replied merry christmas for yesterday as I thought it was freebirthdate wishing us a merry christmas, oh well , still a point lol

Member
Aileen

I did exactly the same thing – think I put ‘and a merry Christmas to you, Daniel’ 🤣🤣🤣

Member
Lostkiwi

So, is it the green thing or what he’s holding?(26th) 🤔

Member
hornetcarp

surely the green thing…..but you never know with these!!!

Member
Julie

I’ve put both, just in case 🤞🏻

Member
Lostkiwi

Think I will as well!

Member
Hilde

I put Nintendo64 for the game console

Member
Wendy

So did i, as it looks more like an N64 then any other that i know of

Member
Susan

Happy Christmas 🎄

Member

I got yesterdays wrong as I thought it was what was behind the tree, I thought the tree was to disguise the answer, silly me.

Member
hornetcarp

same!!!!! i think this was VERY misleading!!!

Member
Susan

I did exactly this too! And that’s after roping my husband in to help. 🤦‍♀️

Member
krispii

Me too!

Member
Hilde

What did you put then instead of Christmas tree? Because I don’t know what’s behind it.. except photo frame or painting?

Member
hornetcarp

xmas card

Member
Hilde

that does make sense

Member
Stuart

I’m intrigued to as to what you thought was behind the tree.

House, Cabin, Shed????

I’m guessing you all probably had different answers as well 😃

I got it right but am looking forward to these competitions ending as they are very controversial

Member
Stuart

Not sure how todays is a festive item (21st)

Member
Lostkiwi

A present maybe? 🎁

Member
Alison

Well, we’ve had television, so why not.

Member
Wendy

I put midi hi-fi, wonder if its still classed as a stereo 🤔

Member
Hilde

I put Stereo Hi-Fi system. Gemini told me. Had to use Gemini because of language. I knew what it was, but I only knew what we call it in Dutch in Belgium, which is ‘Stereo Keten’ Stereo was okay but I doubt ‘keten’ would be accepted LOL.

Member
Julie

I put that too

Member
Sally

Agree Stuart, but that goes for quite a lot of these to be honest!

I also put Hi-Fi like others in the comments below, I wonder if we will be accepted?

Member
tracy

I put cassette player not stereo so I was wrong.
