Tis the season to be jolly – 'oh no it\u2019s not' – 'oh yes it is'!<\/p>\n

Nine in 10 adults experience mishaps over the festive period – including tangled fairy lights, running out of gift wrap and accidentally smashing beloved baubles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other festive faux pas include leaving price tags on presents, bickering over boardgames, and one in 10 admitted to having hidden a present so well they found it years later.<\/p>\n

A poll of 2,000 adults, who celebrate Christmas, found 64 per cent want the holiday season to be perfect each year, with over a quarter saying it\u2019s their favourite time of the year.<\/p>\n

The research, commissioned by HARIBO, also found 62 per cent are comfortable when things to go wrong.<\/p>\n

With four in 10 (42 per cent) seeing the funny side of minor disasters and 17 per cent say a mishap even makes it feel like a \u2018real\u2019 Christmas.<\/p>\n

While 41 per cent believe these events become amusing stories and memories to share.<\/p>\n

And three in 10 (29 per cent) see the funny side and let out a big belly laugh when something doesn\u2019t go to plan.<\/p>\n

The sweet creators ran the research to launch the limited-edition HARIBO Christmas Mishap Bingo Box – a family game which turns festive frustrations into family tales and Christmas-time fun.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson Phil Murphy said: \u201cThe festive season doesn\u2019t have to be perfect\u2026 the mishaps of today, should be the enjoyable memories of the future, but only if we embrace the childlike fun and see the lighter side of life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve created this game to encourage everyone to see mishaps with the wide-eyed wonder of a child, they are often the first ones to see the funny side.<\/p>\n

"Every time a mishap happens at home, simply shout BINGO and open the matching window to find your sweet treat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study found more than a third (37 per cent) say blunders happen because there is too much to think about, and 31 per cent find it a stressful time of the year.<\/p>\n

When something goes wrong and people need to remember what Christmas time is all about, 37 per cent spend time with friends and family and 24 per cent enjoy a sweet treat, according to the OnePoll research.<\/p>\n

The sweet maker also created a quiz to see how people fare when mishaps happen \u2013 are you a \u2018Mistletoe Marshmallow Meltdowner\u2019 or a \u2018Sensible Sweetie\u2019?<\/p>\n

Phil Murphy, from HARIBO, added: \u201cThe toppled trees, the turkey troubles – these are the mishaps we look back on and laugh about."<\/p>\n
