Artifact Puzzles - 24 Day Advent Calendar Samuel Hayward Sleigh Stop Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle

New for Christmas 2024!

This advent puzzle has 570 pieces and be packaged in 24 red, green & gold bags marked Day 1, Day 2, ... Day 24.  Open a bag a day to count down to Christmas, or hand-out the bags to friends & family to puzzle together.

Each day's bag has ~24 pieces that form a chunk of the puzzle, and each day's chunk connects to the puzzle you are building. 

Sleigh Stop is a family-friendly scene of a cozy Nordic lodge where Santas stop for a break and to re-load, like a truck stop for Santas!  Sleigh Stop is set in a beautiful forest with aurora borealis lights in the polar sky. There are many interesting Santas and elves and creatures in this highly-detailed image, with mild touches of humor suitable for all-ages. We commissioned this artwork from British illustrator Samuel Hayward in 2024.

This holiday puzzle is designed to be enjoyable by everyone and has no religious imagery, but it does have some religious Christmas whimsy pieces including nativity shaped puzzle pieces, an angel, and a church, as well as secular holiday pieces shaped like Santa and snowflakes.

The piece shapes curvy and irregular with knob and double-knob connectors. The puzzle has a straight edge.  Puzzle design by Marcelle Jay Iremedio.

To make it a bit more challenging and fun despite each day only having 24 pieces, there's no picture on the box, but for people who don't like surprises, a box sticker with a small picture is enclosed in an envelope, and you can apply that yourself to the top of the box.
