Holidaycottages.co.uk rents vacation properties across the United Kingdom where customers can choose to stay in coastal cottages, stylish barns, mansions, and even castles in some cases. “A Christmas-themed brainteaser is the perfect thing to get you in the spirit this year, especially if [you] set [up] a challenge among friends and family,” Shannon Keary, the company’s digital public relations manager, said in a press release.

Santa’s hat is lost among the snowflakes, Christmas trees, reindeer, snowmen, mistletoe, and so many other adorable holiday features painted on holiday wrapping paper, which is what makes this seek-and-find puzzle so tricky. On average, the Christmas brainteaser takes about 1 minute and 3 seconds to solve but has taken some people up to 15 minutes, according to the press release.
