Next, Defiance

Wouldn't you know it? The Volge hate fun. As well as the Solstice Celebration's Solstice Strike arkfalls, festive outfits, and heaps of seasonal loot, Ara Shondu is offering a special bounty for ark hunters who are ready to face the Volge through to January the 5th. Stop enough Volge attacks, and you'll be invited to Shondu's Consulate to collect a gift of epic Radiant Solstice weapons.

Finally, we have Rift

From now until January the 7th, events are running including old school Fae Yule that we know and love. 

Fae Yule is catching on in the Plane of Water, with new holiday quests appearing at Ghar Station Mem, Ghar Station Rosh, and Port Scuddra. Stock up on Unique Snowflakes as you help the Ghar dream up presents, settle the score between Treants and a winter werewolf, and help the greedy Captain Jake Skyeling retrieve his booty. Then head to the Dendrome for a showdown with the season's deadliest Grinch, the new Golden Devourer raid boss!

Add to this new minions, missions, pets, portraits and more and you'll have plenty to do. On top of all of this, there's even new level 655 expert dungeon bonus missions. Oh, and ugly Christmas sweaters.

Finally, there's Trove.

Between now and January the 5th, players can collect Snowfest Mystery Boxes filled with seasonal goodies by vanquishing Adventure World enemies and completing high-level Shadow Arenas throughout Trove.

Each Box has a chance to contain decorative recipes, snowballs, and more - including a rare Snug Snowman Mount and Laden Sleigh Mag Rider. You can also guarantee rare loot drops by opening your Snowfest Mystery Boxes with Golden Keys from the in-game store. the store also has new costumes, Santa Barbarian and Rudolph Raptor.
