How to unlock the The Grinch achievement in PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - Definitive Guide
Difficulty: Overkill
Play through the level until you acquire the first piece of mission loot from the stores. After that, you are able to secure bags on the Christmas tree. There are a total of 9 additional loot bags.
-There are 6 bags in the Jewelry Store
-There are 2 bags in the Tech Store
-There is 1 bag in the shoe store
All of the additional loot bags are behind some kind of locked door or safe that requires a drill/lock-pick, so this will take a few minutes.
Once you secure all 9 bags of additional loot under the Christmas tree, the achievement will pop. Unless your achievement is glitched and does not unlock. In this case you will need to perform the requirements for the achievement offline. If you are not entirely sure of the process for doing so, please see this guide where I outline the steps.
Here is a video for the locations of the additional loot bags:

This trophy must be done on Overkill, Mayhem, Death Wish or Death Sentence difficulties. After the final little stocking stuffer is placed under the tree, the trophy will pop for all players in the lobby, regardless of their participation in securing the loot. You won't need to complete the entire heist to earn this trophy.
In the Payday universe, nothing says Christmas like the spirit of taking, and taking all spare loot is what you must do for this trophy. Santa will present you with locating three items scattered around the mall. Before, during, or after finding those items you will need to secure the additional loot bags from three different stores. Throw the extra bags under the tree like the other items to secure them.
-
Jewelry Store- This is located on the upper floor of the mall. The security shutters will be down and to access it, you need to lockpick, saw, or c4 a door open around the side of the store. Inside there will be many cases of jewelry you need to smash. Some cases will have loose items and others will have bagable loot. You’ll want to secure a total of six bags from this store.
-
Electronics Store - This store is located near one of the two main entrances to the mall on the ground floor. Inside the store will be a security door you will need to drill through to enter a back room. Inside will be a safe you need to break into to get a bag of money. On the floor of the back room under a table will also be a stack of money you can bag. Secure these two bags under the tree to clear the store out.
- Shoe Store - The shoe store will be located on the upper level of the mall across from the jewelry store. Similar to the electronics store, there will be a back room that needs drilled into. Once inside, there will be a pile of money you can bag up. This is the only spare loot that the shoe store has to offer.
Upon securing this nine spare bags of loot, the trophy will pop.
