This Puzzling Christmas Puzzle Will Leave You Puzzled

When they wake up on Christmas Day it has snowed.
But since they are all driving to elderly relatives for lunch, they must all walk to their own cars.
They must also all stay within the border of the picture before they reach their cars, so no cheating.
