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.

Collect Pecan Pecorino to loot Golem Parts Forge more Golem Parts at the Workshop
Send Golems out to collect loot and Hailstones Fire Hailstones at the fortress to stop the Frost King
25 Festive Jingle Bells
Instantly return a golem! 		Magical Holiday Hat
+3 loot to ANY level golem!
Collect the Frost King's Magical Holiday Scarf to construct an especially rewarding golem!

Uncork Festive Spirit

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.

Double Compressed Cinnamon anytime a mouse drops it!

+1 progress to all active forges in the Golem Workshop!

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.
