It’s that time of the year again!
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
 +
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
 +
 
 +
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.

When all the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holiday season are condensed and coalesced by a crisp north wind it produces this truly miraculous vapour that is believed to be the physical manifestation of joy itself.

====Fill Egg Cartons with the Help of Your Friends====
+
You can obtain Festive Spirit by hunting with standard cheese, completing Naughty Maps, opening doors on your Advent Calendar, and by purchasing it from the Premium Shop.
−
An Egg Carton is an activity you can do with up to 3 friends during the Spring Egg Hunt by opening an Unfilled Spring Egg Carton. Once opened, you will be given an egg carton that has 12 empty slots for Spring Hunt Eggs. Any time anyone in your Egg Hunting group finds a Spring Hunt Egg as a loot drop, a unique copy of that egg will be placed into the egg carton (excluding the 10 basic Spring Hunt stockpile eggs and charge eggs).
 
  
−
Once the carton is full, everyone on the team can smash the carton and receive the loot based on the contents of each egg! How eggciting! You can find an Unfilled Spring Egg Carton inside of this year's Golden Egg, in Stockpile General Stores, and in the Premium Shop.

====Hidden Spring Hunt Eggs====
 
−
Mice throughout the Kingdom are carrying special eggs containing tasty treats of bonus loot! Travel throughout the Kingdom and hunt mice in search of these hidden eggs, then crack them open to see what's inside!
 
  
−
To get started, you'll need a special egg-finding piece of equipment called an Eggscavator. If you do not already own one, you can purchase one from the King for 10,000 gold from the special Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. Or, you can track down the Eggscavator Mouse in areas throughout the Kingdom to find one for free.
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; font-size: 110%"><div style="font-size: 125%">Festive Spirit '''will not double''' the following items dropped by mice:</div>
  
−
====Marshmallow Monterey Stockpiles and Spring Hunt Event Mice====
+
'''Golem Parts'''
−
The changing of the season has attracted several event mice to certain locations. These hunting spots are home to "stockpiles" of Marshmallow Monterey -- a special cheese that will lure event mice to your trap.
 
  
−
To collect Marshmallow Monterey, visit one of the stockpile locations (listed below) and hunt as you normally would there to collect Marshmallow Monterey as loot.
+
'''Magical Holiday Hat'''

−
*Moussu Picchu (Grand Duke/Duchess)
 
  
−
Once you've obtained some Marshmallow Monterey, you can use it in any stockpile location to attract Spring Egg Hunt event mice! These mice drop 10 especially valuable eggs that each hunter can loot only once. Event mice also drop special charms to boost the power of your Eggscavator!
+
==== New Festive Rewards ====
 +
Each time you claim a golem reward, you'll progress a reward track to earn bonus rewards including two new pieces of Limited Edition hunting equipment.

<div style="text-align: centre; padding-left: 0.416em">'''Limited Edition'''</div>
−
You can obtain special charms to boost your Eggscavator by exchanging Marshmallow Monterey at the Charm Shoppe in any Stockpile location, or, you can hunt for event mice in those locations to obtain charms as loot drops. Charging up your Eggscavator will allow you to find special Charge Eggs and using Eggstra Charms will double your egg drops!

−
*'''Eggstra Charm'''
 
−

The Harbour is destroyed, the Eclipse Mouse roams free, the Marching Flame has secured the entirety of the Sandtail Desert, and most shocking of all: A '''mouse is now King!''' Something is terribly wrong, hunters!!!

 +
The King has assembled a variety of supply kits and baskets to give you a jump start on the Great Winter Hunt!

This can't be a coincidence. The strange anomaly emanating from near the castle must be responsible for this change which I can only surmise is a shift in the timeline!

====10 Years of Altered History====
+
<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt will enter shutdown phase on'''<br>'''Tuesday, January 6, 2026'''</div>
−
From what I've gathered, it seems this pretender "mouse king" has made critical changes to the past 10 years that have resulted in mice achieving total victory against hunters.
 
  
−
The culprit king is a fashion-obsessed mouse that has used various magical sewing supplies such as Time Thread, Spacetime Spool, and Fabric of Time to travel back and change events over the last 10 years.
+
On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, the Great Winter Hunt event will enter its shutdown phase. At this time, Pecan Pecorino and Golem Parts will no longer be found as loot drops. Forges will still work at the Golem Workshop and Cannons can still be fired at the Ice Fortress but Compressed Cinnamon will no longer drop in Cinnamon Hill.</div>
  
−
You must explore the strange anomaly, track down these resources yourself, and repair the Quilt of Time, as it were, to unravel what the Time Thief Mouse has sewn!

====Changing History to Help Hunters====

<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt will end completely on'''<br>'''Tuesday, January 13, 2026'''</div>
−
If you're successful, perhaps you can can alter history to give hunters a special edge. If you restore the timeline, you'll be able to share current era trap knowledge with trapsmiths of the past, resulting in some serious trap upgrades!
