How to try the Facebook festive photo trend that turns your family into a cartoon

It's the festive Facebook fad that seems to be taking the social media network by storm.

The latest craze sees cartoon versions of people and their families - complete with a Christmas backdrop.

And if you've been on the social media page today you'll have no doubt seen them cropping up on friends' pages, the Manchester Evening News reports .

But how is it done?

Well the site wasn't set up for this purpose. It's actually a website where people can personalise their own Christmas mugs.

The  MadeMine site  lets people select the number of people and pets in their family, add their names and even choose their hair colour and style to make it truer to life.

Once designed, people are then sharing their creation on Facebook.

There are various backdrops to choose from, but the family at the fireside seems to be proving most popular.

You can order the mugs too if you like and with the Black Friday sale they're reduced from £30.85 to £18.50. Visit the  website  for more details.
