Hungarian artist Gergely Dudás has even released two books of brainteasers — one of holiday puzzles called "Bear's Merry Book of Hidden Things," and another called "Bear's Spooky Book of Hidden Things."

Here are 11 festive brainteasers to get you into the holiday spirit. How many of them can you solve?

There are seven hidden objects in this Christmas brainteaser. Can you find them all?

    Mrs. Claus is on the right. The grumpy Santa is towards the bottom left corner of the image. The snowman is almost directly above the grumpy Santa. A Santa in the middle of the image is holding the bell. The polar bear is to the right of and slightly below the bell. The elf is up in the right-hand corner.

    There's also a bonus hidden object that wasn't on Dudás' original list. Did you see it?
