It’s that time of year, and Blizzard is rolling out the old favorites. Partake in a magical sleigh ride over your faction’s capital city, defeat the shriveled heart of The Greench, take a photo of your most festive transmog in a giant snowglobe, and so much more!
The time to be merry is here, and don’t forget to wear your favorite holiday hat as well. Your good companion, Pepe, certainly won’t!
Hopefully you’ve been nice to your fellow players so that when you log in on December 25th you can get a present from Greatfather Winter. They say he sees all, so make sure to be on your best behavior!
Read on for more holiday hijinks available – but remember to check out the event in-game before January 2nd.
The fine folks of Smokywood Pastures aren’t letting a little thing like a shattered sky and ominous portents get in the way of spreading holiday cheer—or gaining a bit of profit. Winter Veil has begun in Azeroth, and with it come all the fripperies, fineries, and delectable comestibles of the holiday.
When: December 16 – January 2
Where:Â Initial holiday quests can be found in Orgrimmar and Ironforge, but festive decorations can be found throughout the world.
Take a magical sleigh ride with your friends over Orgrimmar or Ironforge! Don’t forget to take a S.E.L.F.I.E. to preserve the moment!
Stop by the Smokeywoods Pastures cart in Ironforge or Orgrimmar and click on Greatfeather Pepe to obtain A Tiny Winter Hat. When you summon Pepe to join you on your adventures, he may just show up in the perfect Winter Veil outfit complete with a tiny beard.
FESTIVE FAVORITES
Let your spirit be light by stepping into one of the Giant Snow Globes found outside of the Ironforge Bank, in Orgrimmar overlooking the Valley of Wisdom, or in the Broken Isles in Dalaran. It’s a truly transformative experience letting your inner Greatfather Winter helper out. A little /dance will spread the joy to those around you.*
The Abominable Greench is (still) a mean one, but we’re sure that once you’ve filled up on the fine foods and beverages from Smokywood Pastures, you’re bound to put a stop to his reign of terror in the Hillsbrad Foothills. The quest You’re a Mean One… is now available to players level 30 and up.
There are plenty of holiday hats to be found on a variety of bosses from dungeons in the Broken Isles, Northrend, and more. You just need to decide which color hat you want. Will it be green or red?
Make sure to check in on December 25 to see what presents Greatfather Winter has left for you.
