The time has come for our favorite new puzzle drop of the year!
We know that there is an argument between the purists who believe that Christmas decorations (and puzzles) should stay put away until after Thanksgiving. And on the other hand are those who would be happy with Christmas year round. We have decided to release our new Christmas puzzles (plus a Hanukkah puzzle, yay!) a little before Thanksgiving this year so that everyone could get a jump start on the holidays!
There are a total of 11 new puzzles to get through from 3 different puzzle manufacturers, so look out for some bonus puzzle suggestions based on the similarities in the overall style of the puzzles!
Enjoy these new puzzles and happy beginning-of-the-holiday-season!
We’re excited to kick off the Holiday season this year with this 300-piece puzzle from Eurographics Puzzles! This puzzle is Christmas Stories and it shows a bookshelf with several smaller Christmas story scenes in front of the books. It gives you a little piece of many classic Christmas stories we’ve all grown up loving—you’ve got the Grinch, the Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and the Polar Express!
Who knew a puzzle could make references to so many amazing Christmas stories in one picture?! That’s why when we saw this puzzle, we knew we had to have it in our Holiday puzzle collection!
Another collage-style puzzle you would like if you want to complete Christmas Stories is Christmas Ornaments, 1000 pieces, also by Eurographics. It’s got tons of ornaments in all the nooks to look at while you puzzle, and might even be good inspiration for when you decorate your trees!
Our last new Eurographics Holiday puzzle is 300-piece, Seaside Holiday! This puzzle art features a group of people in this small town watching boats parade around the harbor with beautifully decorated sails!
It’s a more subtle type of Christmas puzzle which is different from many of the puzzles we see with Santa Claus, his elves, or reindeer scattered around the picture. This puzzle will be perfect for you if you want to complete a puzzle with a fun, winter-time feel to it, rather than your typical Christmas puzzle!
We only have one new Cobble Hill puzzle making its way to our catalog to show you today, but that’s okay because it’s an extra special puzzle for us to bring you. That’s right, it’s our first Hanukkah puzzle! This is Hanukkah Cookies, a 1000-piece puzzle from Cobble Hill Puzzles!
We have been searching for the perfect Hanukkah puzzle to add to our catalog and we finally found it! Over our past two Holiday seasons, our customers have brought it to our attention that they would like to see a Hanukkah puzzle available for members so our catalog is more inclusive to those who don’t participate in the Christian Christmas celebration. We never want any puzzler to feel left out by Completing the Puzzle, which is why we prioritized adding a Hanukkah puzzle to the Completing the Puzzle catalog this winter season.
The cookies in this puzzle are beautifully decorated with intricate patterns and Hanukkah symbols like the Menorah, Dreidels, and the Star of David. We hope you love this puzzle addition as much as we do and feel included this Holiday season! Feel free to suggest any other Hanukkah puzzles you would like to see in our catalog and we will try our best to make it happen!
The last group of new puzzles today are from Dowdle Folk Art! There are seven new Dowdle Holiday puzzles joining our puzzle collection! I’m so excited to share them with you, and while I won’t be able to discuss each one in detail, I grouped them into similar image styles to help you choose which puzzles you would like to add to your wishlist. I divided these puzzles into Winter Travel Locations and Santa Claus puzzles, as well as two bonus puzzles at the end!
The first Dowdle puzzle is Alpine Christmas. It’s a 1000 piece puzzle of Alpine, Utah at Christmas time! Eric Dowdle’s artwork on this puzzle is absolutely stunning! My favorite part of this puzzle’s art are the snow-covered trees you see all around the town! The bright white snow with a touch of blue makes the highlights on the trees stand out so nicely. I did not grow up in a small town like this, but after seeing this puzzle, it’s making me want to visit one just to take in the festive atmosphere around Christmas time! Luckily, I can get my small town winter travel fix through these puzzles!
If you like Alpine Christmas, there are two other Winter Travel Location-style puzzles we now carry that you should check out! We have 1000-piece Rocky Mountain Christmas and 500-piece Sun Valley Holiday. We guarantee that both of these puzzles will give you that small town Holiday experience like Alpine Christmas does!
Another new Dowdle Holiday puzzle we have for you to add to your wishlist is Christmas Delivery! This puzzle would be a fun one to complete with your kids or any young children in your family you might be seeing this Holiday season since it shows Santa Claus on his way to deliver all his gifts on Christmas Eve! Plus, it’s only 300 pieces and will be an easy one to complete together as a family. I love that there is a little house on the mountains in the background of this art! It looks like the next stop for Santa’s sleigh to deliver gifts! Who knows, maybe the drums or basketball in Santa’s bag will be the surprise the kid who lives in that house will receive on Christmas morning!
Another Santa-themed puzzle you can add to your wishlist if you like Christmas Delivery is Santa’s Workshop. At 500 pieces, it’s going to be slightly more challenging than Christmas Delivery, but likely just as fun! This puzzle will give you that behind the scenes look at Santa’s Workshop and show the hard work that goes into preparing for Christmas Eve!
We couldn’t leave you without just a few more new Holiday puzzles, so here are two bonus Dowdle puzzles we thought you’d love! Winter Fun and Nativity are both 1000 piece puzzles, but with very different puzzle art.
Nativity shows the biblical scene of the birth of Jesus Christ. Add this puzzle to your wishlist if you want to see Eric Dowdle’s unique folk-art rendition of the traditional story! And, be prepared, with all of the browns and tans, this is a very challenging Expert level puzzle!
How excited are you to go add some fun and beautiful new Holiday puzzles to your wishlist!? We’re definitely excited to see what our members think of these new puzzles and hope you all love what we picked for this year! Stay tuned for more fun Holiday puzzles coming soon!
