BBC Breakfast viewers were left raging with the broadcaster's studio makeover as they branded their Christmas decorations 'naff and drab'.
As Sally Nugent, 53, and Jon Kay, 55, took the iconic red couch for Monday's installment, they revealed the studio's festive transformation following the weekend.
For the first episode of December, the BBC decked their halls with holly and planted two huge green Christmas trees behind the sofa.
The trees had a classic design, featuring an array of red, white and silver ornaments and baubles.
However, they were poorly received by viewers, with one taking to X, formerly known as Twitter to rage: 'The Christmas tree in the studio is winding me up, not much of an effort been made there #BBCBreakfast.'
A second chimed in: 'Frigging hellfire... that’s not much of a Christmas tree behind the sofa, last years was much better [cringing emoji] #BBCBreakfast.'

'Tree looks naff and drab... needs some lights #BBCBreakfast,' a third echoed.
While a fourth agreed: 'The BBC have splashed out again on a Christmas tree [cry-laughing emoji] #BBCBreakfast.'
For the episode, Sally also got in the festive spirit as she donned a chic cherry red dress.
Jon also paid homage to the festive period as he wore an ivy green satin tie, which he paired with a dark grey suit.
The studio makeover comes just weeks after Jon and Sally were caught off guard after a major technical mishap.
During the instalment of the daytime programme, the breakfast show aired a segment on Keir Starmer, 62, however, when the camera returned to the studio, the pair were unaware they were being filmed.
While Jon leaned back on the sofa appearing engrossed by his phone, Sally accidentally showed her list of notes to the camera as she returned to the sofa with a cup of tea.
While the presenters usually apologise for technical errors, the pair continued presenting the show as normal when the cameras returned to the studio.

However, the mishap wasn't missed by viewers at home, as one person shared a screenshot of the error on X, writing: 'Ooopsie!!!'
The show also hailed the return of Jon, who was absent from the BBC Breakfast sofa for a while as he covered the US Election.
Sharing snaps from his time in the US, he wrote: 'Broadcasting high above the White House with the world’s media, as the USA heads to the polls.'
While in another post he reflected: 'The sun sets on US Election Day 2024 in Washington DC. Whoever wins, history will be made.'
Elsewhere on the show, the hosts examined several news stories including the upcoming bill on assisted dying in Parliament, calls for Justin Welby to resign as the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Paddy McGuinness' Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge for Children in Need.
Breakfast airs weekdays on BBC One from 6am and is available to stream on iPlayer.
