To get the $\color{green}✓$:

1. Solve the Nonogram
2. Solve the Minesweeper puzzle

Note: partial answers are perfectly okay.

Today's Minesweeper puzzle is a bit weird. Here's why:

1. There's a Nonogram. Why, you might ask? That's because since today's puzzle is in the shape of a Christmas tree, that means that there is going to be a Nonogram to determine the shape of the tree (however I am sorry about it being asymmetrical)
2. There are two different "realms" in the puzzle:

• The "Normal" realm. This is literally just the part of the puzzle that's not shaded due to Nonogram rules.
• The "Starry" realm. Now, this is a bit more complex. For starters, obviously this is the part of the puzzle that is shaded due to Nonogram rules. Secondly, the numbered cells are affected by mines in the Starry realm and mines in the Normal realm. However, numbered cells in the Normal realm do not have their total affected by mines in the Starry realm.

3. The yellow, red, green, and blue is only for decoration and does not affect the puzzle in any way.

Note that for the Nonogram, you can disregard the outside borders entirely as that is not for the puzzle.

The puzzle:

Answer 1

The solved grid:

The solving paths for both the nonogram and the minesweeper are very straightforward, but I can provide intermediate steps if required.
