==== 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!

Start by using any basic bait to catch the least spooky mice in the Gloomy Greenwood and collect the '''Pungent Pumpkins''' that they are carrying.
 
−
 
 
  
−
Add these Pungent Pumpkins into a cauldron based on Baba Gaga's recipe to brew a batch of '''Monterey Jack-O-Lantern'''. With Monterey Jack-O-Lantern armed, you'll be able to attract spookier mice who drop spookier ingredients.

==== 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.
  
 +
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">Double Compressed Cinnamon anytime a mouse drops it!
  
−
Each tier of mice will drop the ingredient you need to make the next tier of cheese. There are four different types of cheese and each one will attract a unique pool of Halloween event mice. Work your way up to '''Scream Cheese''' in order to attract the villainous Baba Gaga herself!
+
+1 progress to all active forges in the Golem Workshop!
  
 +
+1 shield damage when '''any''' cannon is fired (for a possible max of four)
  
−
When hunting with any of the new types of cheese, mice will also drop a very valuable ingredient called '''Mousedrake Root'''. Use this potent component to distill Baba Gaga's most powerful brew: Evil Extract!
+
Conjures 1 Throwable Snowball each and every hunt!
  
 +
Double loot drops of a wide variety of festive-themed items at the Taiga!</div>
  
−
'''Evil Extract''' can be traded in at the Apothecary (General Store) for a wide selection of existing potions as well as some extremely powerful ones that were created by Baba Gaga herself! 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.
+
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.

==== Baba Gaga's Boon ====

==== Festive Activities ====
  
−
Upon brewing 40 batches of Evil Extract and reaching the end of the Reward Track, ''Baba Gaga's Boon'' will become active in the Gloomy Greenwood!
+
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.
  
−
While hunting with Baba Gaga's evil enchantment in effect, mice will occasionally drop a random assortment of exciting and new potions, but most especially the '''Brewer's Boon Potion'''!

This incense can be ignited from the Gloomy Greenwood Heads-Up Display and is available from the Reward Track and the Premium Shop.

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.

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!
