Decorating the Christmas tree can be simultaneously the most entertaining and frustrating activity of the holiday season, right after getting your mum to tell you what she actually wants this year, instead of “your presence is my present”. The entertainment part of the process comes in as your dog watches you complete this tree-decorating ritual, while they cock their head in confusion, and your cat looks at you with disdain and plots their plan to knock the tree topper to its death.

Even still, we get out the box of decorations every year, taking special care to find the most worthy spots for the treasured ones. And, if we’re being honest, the best ornaments are the ones who remind us of our pets, who are heart-stoppingly cute but have no concept of holiday décor whatsoever. Below, the 15 look-alike Christmas ornaments that will help you celebrate your pet (or at least a miniature version of them) as they decorate the most coveted branches on the tree.
