Winter & Holiday Puzzles
Most of the Winter & Holiday Puzzles collection falls into two piece counts:
A handful of 100-piece mini puzzles round out the standard range - compact, shaped designs like Home For Christmas, Tidings, and Don't Stop Believin'.
A large portion of this collection features metallic foil accents, and the winter theme is where foil works best. Holiday lights, snow reflections, gold ornaments, and candlelit windows all benefit from the reflective finish.
Some of the foil designs include:
If you're specifically browsing foil options across all themes, the full Foil Jigsaw Puzzles collection covers the entire range.
Winter puzzles aren't limited to flat rectangular formats. The collection also includes several specialty types.
Puzzle Advent Calendars are 12-day countdown sets where you open and assemble a new mini puzzle each day. The Joy Laforme Winter Lights and Michael Storrings 12 Days of Christmas sets are two of the most popular. Some combine the daily puzzles into one larger 500-piece image.
Puzzle Ornaments are 130-piece mini puzzles packaged in ornament-shaped tins. Once assembled, they can hang on a Christmas tree. Louise Cunningham Starling illustrates most of the ornament designs - Alpine Cottage, Winter Sledding, Snow Globe, and Tree Skaters.
Greeting Card Puzzles are small puzzles packaged as holiday cards. Designs include Meowy Christmas, Happy Hanukcats, Joy Laforme's Cozy Cabin, and Merry & Bright. They double as gifts and seasonal stationery - small enough to mail flat.
Three artists account for more than half the collection.
Joy Laforme - her best-selling Winter Lights 500-piece foil puzzle anchors the collection, alongside Snowcap Village, Gingerbread Cottage, Sparkling City, Christmas Square, and several greeting card puzzles. Her style leans toward illustrated cityscapes and village scenes with warm lighting against cold-weather settings.
Michael Storrings - Christmas in Paris, Christmas in London, Christmas in Greenwich Village, Christmas Tree Farm, Toy Workshop, and Snowfall on Park Avenue. His holiday work follows the same detailed, colorful illustration approach as his city and travel puzzles.
Louise Cunningham Starling - concentrated in the smaller formats. She illustrates most of the puzzle ornaments, the Merry and Bright advent calendar, Christmas Carolers, Twinkle Town, and the Christmas in the Village house-shaped puzzle.
Other contributing artists include Frank Lloyd Wright (December Gifts foil), Gray Malin (The Snow double-sided), Andy Warhol (12 Days of Puzzles countdown), and Emily Taylor (Merry Mixer foil).
The 500-piece range works best for single-session puzzling during the holiday season. If you're assembling as a family activity or want something to finish in one evening, this format fits the schedule.
The 1000-piece puzzles are multi-session projects across several days. These tend to have more complex scenes with layered details - Michael Storrings' Christmas in London includes street-level detail across an entire cityscape, and Joy Laforme's Christmas Square packs in storefronts, pedestrians, and holiday decorations.
One thing to watch: designs with large snowy sky areas or dark nighttime backgrounds are harder to assemble regardless of piece count. If you're buying for someone newer to puzzling, choose a design with varied colors across the full image.
Winter scenes have specific characteristics that affect the puzzling experience. Many designs include large sections of white or off-white snow, dark sky, or repeating elements like trees and rooftops. These areas are harder to assemble than sections with varied colors.
Start with the most colorful and distinctive parts - lit windows, holiday decorations, character figures, signage. Save snow and sky sections for last, when fewer remaining pieces and surrounding context help narrow placement.
Foil puzzles give you an extra sorting advantage here. Pieces with metallic accents are immediately identifiable and can be grouped early.
Winter puzzles are the most gifted category in our catalog. The foil designs make an immediate visual impact when the box is opened. For someone you're not sure about, a 500-piece foil puzzle is a reliable choice - manageable time commitment, visually striking, no prior experience needed.
