==== Spring Forward into another Egg-Packed Season! ====
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
One of the most time-honoured events has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! This year the Spring Egg Hunt features some brand new eggs, new rewards, and the return of Lady Laura!
+
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.
  
−
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 claim one for free from the Spring Egg Hunt heads-up display. So grab yourself an Eggscavator and get ready for an eggsceptional season!
+
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.

==== Lady Laura is Back! ====
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: center"
−
A familiar face has returned to the Kingdom of Gnawnia to celebrate the coming of spring: Lady Laura, the Chocolatier! But she is no ordinary Chocolatier. Lady Laura is a master of the lost art of CocoAlchemy which gives her the ability to wield the mighty power of the purest chocolate known to science: '''Chocolatonium'''!

==== 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.
  
−
Unfortunately, a certain group of greedy, chocolate-obsessed mice have ambushed her caravan and once again stolen all of her Chocolatonium! Collect the stolen Chocolatonium from the spring event mice that are roaming all over the Kingdom. These mice are so plentiful right now that you won't even need cheese to attract them!
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">Double Compressed Cinnamon anytime a mouse drops it!
  
−
'''Return the Chocolatonium to Lady Laura to unlock the shelves in her Chocolate Shop''' and she'll show her gratitude by presenting you with special, one-time rewards for unlocking each shelf. Once a shelf has been unlocked, you'll be able to purchase the items on that shelf with Chocolatonium anytime during the event.

==== Spring Mice and Spring Eggs ====
+
+1 shield damage when '''any''' cannon is fired (for a possible max of four)
−
The Chocolatonium has driven the spring event mice into such a frenzy that you can find these mice '''EVERYWHERE''' in the Kingdom! They're so abundant that you do not need special cheese to attract them. In fact, you don't need any cheese at all!
 
  
−
The spring event mice '''all come exclusively from bonus hunts''' meaning they'll occasionally wander into your trap without consuming cheese or charms and without affecting any area gameplay progression. The spring mice will always drop Chocolatonium when caught.
+
Conjures 1 Throwable Snowball each and every hunt!

==== New Year, New Eggs! ====

There are '''6 new eggs''' to find! Can you decipher their hints and find them? Remember, you'll need your trusty Eggscavator to find them so make sure you pick one up before you head out!
 
  
 +
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.

==== The Eggsweeper Mini-Game Has Returned! ====

| style="width: 50%; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em" |
−
'''HOW TO PLAY''': There are 10 eggs hidden somewhere in the field and you need to reveal them all to earn rank-specific rewards! Each tile you reveal costs 1 Eggsweeper Shovel. When you reveal a tile, you will either be shown a number or an egg. The number shown is a clue representing how many eggs are hidden in nearby tiles (diagonals included). If you reveal an egg, you get a special Eggsweeper Egg added to your inventory based on your hunter title.

This year the Eggsweeper will have a new tier with a new egg! The New Tier 5 Egg is for Hunters titled Archduke/Archduchess and above. This egg contains resources from all of the Archduke/Archduchess areas throughout Gnawnia. With the introduction of the Tier 5 egg, we have adjusted the contents of the Tier 3 (Baron/Baroness and Count/Countess) and Tier 4 (Duke/Duchess and Grand Duke/Duchess) eggs by redistributing their loot to the appropriately tiered eggs.

Chocolatonium has a highly unstable atomic structure and therefore only has a very short half-life. Any pure Chocolatonium exposed to the open air will undergo radioactive decay after only four weeks and even when it's properly contained within a hunter's inventory, it will only last an additional two weeks.

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>

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!
