RECKON YOU’RE FAIRLY eagle-eyed?

Well, we’ve got one hell of a festive and fun test for you.

We’ve chosen some of our favourite Christmas movies – and we’re asking you to guess which ones they are, based on one single still from the flick.

(If you’ve got it in the bag, we recommend making things a little more interesting and sharing this with a pal who loves Christmas movies to see who does better. Nothing like a little healthy competition to improve performance… Tis the season.)

    You spend your time instead doing online quizzes on movies you haven’t seen.
