Nothing screams festive like a gingerbread house with candy canes, plus dozens of other candies - and 18 red peppermints.

The teaser from (@gettyimages) is sure to add some holiday spirit to the season.

Think you have Santa sense?

Then give this Christmas-inspired teaser a try.

Only a small percentage of people will be able to find all 18 red peppermints.

The multi-layered house featured a candy cane staircase, a chocolate Christmas tree, and plenty of windows.

There were even lion statues guarding the gingerbread home.

There were plenty of brightly colored candies, including nonpareils and green peppermints.

Ready to get some festive fun on?

Use those eagle eyes to scan the Santa-approved house.

On the first level of the home - next to what appeared to be decorative layers of blue M&M's and colorful chocolate nonpareils - four rows of two white and red peppermints could be spotted.

That brought the total so far to eight peppermints.

But there were still ten more of the candies hiding on the exterior of the house.

If your eye goes toward the second level of the home, right in the middle of a window over the Christmas tree, you will find three additional red and white peppermint candies.

There was also an extra peppermint in the colorful window next to the three candies just found, and two more that were placed diagonally to each other on the window underneath.

When you focus on the tree again, go two windows down on the right and you will see two additional round red peppermints surrounded by a green window frame.

It's now time to put that Santa sense on overdrive.

Just look a few more windows down on the right and another peppermint can be spotted hiding on top of a green peppermint.

And there was one more to go.

Located at the top of the house was the last and final peppermint.

Once again using the Christmas tree as the guiding star, just follow the peppermint trail right above it, shift your sight one window to the right and there it is.

All 18 peppermints have now been found.

Even if you didn't find them all, this gingerbread house is sure to bring joy.

Aside from being fun, brain teasers can also be good for your, well, brain.
