Gibsons Christmas Puzzle Limited Edition 2023
I love Marcello Corti's work and he makes a welcome return to Gibsons. He painted several Christmas puzzles before Tony Ryan took over for a few years (and did a fantastic job).
Marcello is now back, and what an amazing puzzle this is. Look at the detail in the faces. There are children riding donkeys, Santa driving a tractor, and it even looks like Sherlock Holmes is blasting out some Christmas carols!

Falcon Christmas Eve 2023 Jigsaw Puzzle, 2 x 1000pc
It's Christmas Eve and in the first puzzle Santa is on the rooftops!
I think the second (free) puzzle is better with carol singers gathering round the tree. You can see Santa looking down on the wonky leaning tree 🙂
Good value for two 1000pc puzzles.
Disney Christmas - Ravensburger 1000pc jigsaw puzzle
I love this! There are over 60 Disney characters - my favourite being Winnie the Pooh getting a piggy back from Eeyore!
Lots of detail in the background, so something interesting in every piece.
Disney & Thomas Kinkade - Candy Cane Express - 1000pc jigsaw puzzle
Look really carefully and you will see Mickey & Minnie Mouse in a Thomas Kinkade puzzle!
I think these 'mash-ups' are so interesting with all the small details included. I'm pretty sure that Donald Duck is in there too!
It comes in a special Christmas box complete with a red bow.
The First Ever Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle
Did you know the first ever Christmas jigsaw
“The Christmas Pastime – A Holiday Souvenir” created by John Spilsbury in the 1760s
Waddingtons Limited Edition Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle 2023
*** latest update on Waddingtons Limited Editon 2023 ***
“We do normally make a new Waddingtons Christmas jigsaw each year, however due to COVID related supply chain and logistical issues, the 2021 version was very delayed in its release and as a result missed out on the usual marketing and sales opportunities. As a result, this version was rerun and sold through 2022 and is still being sold throughout 2023.”

So sadly, no new Waddingtons Limited Editon
The first Waddingtons limited edition Christmas
If you are looking for a rare Waddingtons Christmas limited edition 2021, it is available here from Amazon at a great price, but stocks are limited.
Waddingtons Christmas Ltd Edition
This is the 2021 version, as Waddingtons haven't released a new one for the last two years. The good thing is this version is now available at a great price!
Almost Done by Roy Trower - Ravensburger 2023 Christmas 1000pc jigsaw puzzle
Santa is delivering his last few presents when he spots two ponies and a donkey so he stops for a chat. When more animals appear, Santa shares his basket of apples with his new friends!
I love the fact it is painted by 100% by hand - watercolour, gouache and pencil by the UK artist Roy Trower.
Ravensburger have sold over 1 billion jigsaw puzzles and are known for their German quality of their puzzle pieces.
Christmas Cheer - Vermont 1000pc jigsaw puzzle
I counted five Christmas trees in this puzzle and lots & lots of happy children's faces!
Wasgij Christmas 19 - Santa Dash 2 x 1000pc jigsaw puzzle
The latest Christmas Wasgij and you get two 1000pc puzzles in one box!
In this latest installment, Santa visits a Christmas market and something scares him! I love all those facial expressions!
Remember the picture on the box isn't what you have to complete as the puzzle.
If you don't know what the best selling Wasgij puzzles are, you are in for a surprise - have a look at my Wasgij article.

Christmas Calendar - White Mountain 1000pc jigsaw puzzle
I've counted 25 vintage calendars in this colourful collage by artist Steve Cameron, so it could also be an advent calendar!
Note that White Mountain puzzles are generally a little larger with a finished size of 24" x 30".
White Mountain puzzles were founded in Vermont, USA in 1978 – the same year as Ben & Jerrys ice cream!
I love their style of puzzles – the way they put so much effort into the designs.
Made in the USA, you can see the full range of White Mountain puzzles here.
Wooden Christmas Jigsaw Puzzles
How about the ultimate Christmas wooden jigsaw
Wentworth, Liberty & Nautilus have some great designs.
See my article on other Wooden jigsaw puzzles here.
GCHQ Christmas Puzzle 2023
Something completely different!
In 2022, the GCHQ Christmas Challenge featured seven fiendish puzzles based on the seven disciplines of languages, engineering, codebreaking, analysis, maths, coding and cyber security – all key skills needed at GCHQ to help keep the country safe.
Once you solved all seven puzzles, you needed to think outside the box, and use the design on the front of the card to assemble the answers, forming three separate what3words locations.
Joining the three place names together revealed the special festive answer.

My Best Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle
For me, it has to be a 1000 piece limited edition Christmas
This year, Gibsons limited edition Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle
by the amazing artist Marcello Corti, is my 2023 pick.
Gibsons Christmas Puzzle Limited Edition 2023
I love Marcello Corti's work and he makes a welcome return to Gibsons. He painted several Christmas puzzles before Tony Ryan took over for a few years (and did a fantastic job).
Marcello is now back, and what an amazing puzzle this is. Look at the detail in the faces. There are children riding donkeys, Santa driving a tractor, and it even looks like Sherlock Holmes is blasting out some Christmas carols!
