What the Christmas mode sets for you
Christmas word lists
Word search, word scramble, missing vowels, missing vowel word search and cryptogram books start with Christmas word lists: Christmas Traditions, Winter Holidays and Gift Ideas. Kids books get child-friendly lists such as Christmas Traditions, Winter Holidays and Arctic Wildlife.
Holiday colors and title font
Titles, grid lines and shading print in red titles, dark green grid lines, mint shading and green highlights, and puzzle titles use the Mountains of Christmas font (“Christmas Sudoku 1”). Large Print books keep their readable font. Numbers and letters stay black, so the book stays readable in black and white.
Christmas tree-shaped mazes
Maze books and maze chapters get a christmas tree outline. Kids mazes have wide paths, start and finish icons and exactly one route.
Christmas nonograms
Nonogram books, zebra and triangle nonograms included, start with the picture library's Christmas pictures, such as penguin, christmas tree and snowflake, and fill the rest of the book with everyday pictures, each with one solution.
Intro and thank-you pages
The book comes with a Christmas intro page and a “Merry Christmas!” thank-you page, already written in the holiday font and colors. Keep them or write your own.
Christmas line art
The editor offers 8 Christmas line art pictures, such as a Christmas tree, a candy cane and a snowman, before the everyday ones, and the image search starts with Christmas pictures.

When should I publish a Christmas puzzle book?
Christmas puzzle books sell from October to mid-December as gifts and stocking stuffers, so publish by October. Amazon reviews a new paperback in up to 72 hours, but a book needs time to be found, so leave a few weeks before the holiday.

The free trial includes all of them.
Can I sell Christmas puzzle books made with Wisdom Effect on Amazon KDP?
Yes. Books generated on paid plans and with credit packs include a full commercial license, and you keep 100% of your royalties.
Can I make Christmas puzzle books in German, French, Spanish, Japanese or other languages?
Yes, on the Publisher plan and in the free trial. Pick one of 10 book languages, one for each Amazon marketplace: English (amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.ca, amazon.com.au, amazon.in), German (amazon.de), French (amazon.fr), Spanish (amazon.es, amazon.com.mx), Italian (amazon.it), Dutch (amazon.nl), Brazilian Portuguese (amazon.com.br), Japanese (amazon.co.jp), Polish (amazon.pl), Swedish (amazon.se). Wisdom Effect then prints the texts it writes into the book in that language: puzzle and solution titles, chapter headings, the table of contents, difficulty labels, the copyright page (10 legal templates), the intro and thank-you pages and the labels on the puzzle pages, seasonal editions included. The Christmas titles, intro and thank-you texts are translated too; the holiday word lists are English, so for word puzzles import your own words in that language. Texts you write yourself are not translated, so write them in the book's language. Starter and Pro books are printed in English.
