'Twas the night before the Hunt, when all through the house,
+
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.
−
One creature was stirring, the Great Giftnapper Mouse.
 
−
He was spiteful and mean and as greedy as can be,
 
−
With an insatiable craving for more than just brie!
 
  
−
It was gifts that he wanted and certainly not to share,
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em"
−
He wanted them all for himself, not a one would he spare!
+
|- style="text-align: center"

So he climbed down the chimneys of each house on the street,
+
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | '''25 Festive Spirit'''<br>More loot!

Stealing all of their gifts, very sneaky and discrete.

He made off like a bandit, into the cold winter night,
+
<div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">Festive Spirit '''will double''' the following items dropped by mice in the Great Winter Taiga:</div>
−
So the residents would awake to an unfestive sight.

{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: center"
−
He left those poor houses all empty and bare,
+
|- style="text-align: center;  margin: auto"

Then hid himself away, no one quite knows where.

He travelled the kingdom, hiding every stolen gift,
 
−
From Queso Geyser all the way to Furoma Rift.
 
−
Without gifts, Gnawnia was turning dreary and glum,
 
−
Until lo and behold, the Festive Comet had come!
 
  
−
The Magical Snow Golems had returned just in time,
+
<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>
−
To recover the gifts and put a stop to this crime.
 
−
These creatures are more than just friendly and cute,
 
−
They're also amazing at gathering loot!
 
  
−
So send your golems on the journey of the year,
+
'''Golem Parts'''
−
And return all the gifts to spread holiday cheer.
 
−
Once the gifts are returned, it will be time to confront,
 
−
The Great Giftnapper Mouse and save the Great Winter Hunt!

====Constructing Snow Golems====
+
'''Magical Holiday Hat'''
  
−
Visit the Festive Comet where the snow is not only the perfect packing consistency to create snow golems, but also magically enchanted to bring those golems to life! Start by gathering some Pecan Pecorino or Glazed Pecan Pecorino Cheese and then arm it to attract a variety of mice that drop snow golem parts. Once you find a Snow Golem Head, Snow Golem Torso, and four Snow Golem Limbs you'll be able to construct a golem to send out on a gift and loot recovery mission!
+
'''Magical Holiday Scarf'''
  
 +
'''Festive Spirit itself'''</div>
  
−
Once sent out, your golems will return in '''25 hunts time''' not only with a bundle of loot from the areas you sent them to, but also with a stash of Recovered Gifts. Return these gifts to their rightful owners via the heads-up display and you'll find that they have left out a tray of M.I.L.K. and Cookies as a show of thanks for your part in playing Santa.
+
==== New Festive Rewards ====

−
Take playing Santa to the next level by completing Naughty and Nice List Treasure Maps. These unique lists of mice will have you track down Great Winter Hunt mice in search of Treasure Chests! The chests contain goodies to help you in your festive hunting endeavors and can even contain an Advent Chocolate. Using Rare Map Dust will result in a rare chest which '''always''' contains at least one Advent Chocolate!
+
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>
  
−
'''Nice Lists''' are not as difficult and less rewarding. You and your map mates will have to track down a variety of event mice, but none that require HUD decorations. These are great when first getting started.
 
  
−
'''Naughty Lists''' are more difficult but also more rewarding! To complete these maps you'll potentially need to have unlocked all the unique HUD decorations by capturing the Great Giftnapper several times.

Winter Aura
 
  
−
Each time a Snow Golem returns it will extend the duration of the Winter Aura. This festive enchantment adds +5 Luck to your trap and gives mice a chance to drop a variety of festive loot items, including Winter Hunt Gift Boxes depending on your Hunter Title. Looking for lower-tier gift boxes? Carefully use the Hunter's Hammer to crush the box into a lower tier and just hope there wasn't anything fragile inside!

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once 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.

The Great Winter Hunt is one of the biggest events of the year and there's so much more than golems. Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC

Stuck Snowball Sundays

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Animated Snow Storm

During the 48 hour storm, all mice in the taiga will drop Animated Snow with the Snowflake, Glazy, and Joy mice dropping the most.

Grand Gift Opening Ceremony

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 18. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.

New Year's Celebration

Keep an eye out for an update on December 30 at approximately 4:00pm UTC to start the New Year's celebration! There will be a map to complete and new rewards to earn!
