This Christmas party-inspired brain teaser is sure to get you in the mood to celebrate - especially if you manage to spot all three candy canes.

Brain teasers can be deceptively hard to do. They might look really easy on first glance, but once you try to find what you've been tasked to spot, you realise it's really hard.

But there's a reason for it. Brain teasers are designed to give our minds a good workout - and in exchange you'll feel more focused, your memory might improve - as well as your overall cognitive function.

So why not give this festive brain teaser a go? The puzzle, created by Dresscode, challenges readers to find the hidden candy canes in the Christmas party scene.

On average, it takes people a whopping 1 minute and 30 seconds to find all three candy canes, and three in five take over two minutes. So set a timer and see how long it takes you to find them.

But be warned - it's a busy image which means there are many distractions, and it will be harder to find them than you might think. You'll have to really clear your brain if you're hoping to find them all.

If you didn't manage to spot them all, don't worry. It's designed to be deceptively tricky. But if you did find them, give yourself a big pat on the back. If you want to double-check, see all the locations of the candy canes below.

Looking for more festive fun? Try to spot the odd Christmas tree in this puzzle. You'll need really sharp eyes to be able to see the difference. In this equally festive brain teaser, you need to find a cheeky elf hiding. It's apparently even harder to find than the Christmas tree, because it takes people on average 2 minutes and 45 seconds to locate him.

You also have sharp eyes if you manage to spot the hidden Rudolph among Santa's other reindeer. You might think this would be easy, as he has a red and shiny nose - but it turns out to be quite hard.
