John Simmonds, Publisher:

“After the success of last year’s launch, it’s great to see the Take a Break Puzzle Annual return for Christmas 2023! We’ve seen a great response from our retail partners who have recognised the unique proposition the Puzzle Annual presents, meaning we’re pleased to be back on even more shelves across even more retail groups than last year! Congratulations to the team for creating another wonderful title that reflects our mission, to ‘delight and entertain’ our readers with new and exciting products.”

As well as being packed with a fantastic mix of seasonal puzzles, readers will also find out what the editors get up to during this most wonderful time of year.

Entertaining the nation with its popular mix of puzzles, crosswords, word searches and picture posers, Kaylie MacKenzie, Puzzle Selection Editor comments “Every five years, we like to make a big deal of our birthday issue. This year, we have party-themed puzzles, a 30-question quiz and hosts of celebrities who share a birth year with Puzzle Selection. Celebrate three decades of crosswords, codebreakers and full-colour picture puzzles — and here’s to many more birthdays!”
