==== The Gloomy Greenwood Returns... ====
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
The harrowing hut has returned to nest in the '''Gloomy Greenwood''' for this year's Halloween celebration and with it, the spine-tingling siren song of the spooktacular Baba Gaga!
+
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.
  
−
Are you brave enough to travel back to the Gloomy Greenwood, conquer the collectors, command the cauldrons, and capture the most ghoulish performer of all time?
+
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 Ingredients, Load the Cauldrons, and Start Brewing ====
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: center"
−
The only way to defeat Baba Gaga and her monstrous minions is to use her own enchanted cauldrons against her! You'll need to collect ingredients from the mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and then put those ingredients into the cauldrons in order to start brewing up spooky flavours of cheese!

==== Uncork Festive Spirit ====

+
+1 progress to all active forges in the Golem Workshop!
  
 +
+1 shield damage when '''any''' cannon is fired (for a possible max of four)
  
−

Open up the "Shops" tab in Baba Gaga's Recipe Book to get a detailed look at all of the available potions and what each of them can do.

To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

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.

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

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!
