The '''Festive Comet''' is an event location that generally hold the [[Great Winter Hunt]] Event.
''This celestial event of festive proportions has crashed into Gnawnia! Although the original origin of this cheer-spreading comet are unknown, hunters from across the Kingdom are calling its arrival cause for festive celebration!''

It is in the region of [[Gnawnia]] just below the [[Town of Gnawnia]].
The '''Festive Comet''' is a special location first available during [[The Great Winter Hunt '09]] and currently during [[The Great Winter Hunt 2010]]. There are no special requirements for hunters to enter this area. Mice are unable to steal gold or points in this location but may steal cheese if not caught.
 
  
Catch statistics from the Festive Comet are grouped with those from the [[Heart of the Tiger Party]] under the '''King's Party Zone''' location name.
+
Events held:
  
If a hunter was still in the Festive Comet when it melted, he was moved back to [[Gnawnia]] at no cost with the following message:
+
*'''2021:''' [[Great Winter Hunt 2021]]
 
+
*'''2020:''' [[Great Winter Hunt 2020]]
''"As the last snowflake of the Festive Comet melted I moved to the Town of Gnawnia to continue hunting."''

== Hunting Strategy ==
 
In this location, there are mice that are weak to different power types ([[Hydro]], [[Physical]], [[Forgotten]] and [[Tactical]]). The hunters need to pick the trap with the power type effective against their most desired mice. Alternatively, hunters may consider using the luckiest trap available to them.
 
 
 
[[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]] and [[Gingerbread_(cheese)|Gingerbread]] cheese are the only cheeses that are consistently effective in attracting all of the festive mice that are exclusive to this location, though SUPER|brie+ seems to be better in obtaining the Christmas Tree Mouse (see [[Christmas Tree Mouse|the main Christmas Tree Mouse article]]) and is essentially necessary to attract the [[Worker Mouse]]. The use of conventional cheeses such as [[Brie]] or [[Swiss]] does not attract the festive mice as much and eliminates altogether the attraction of several mice including the [[Scrooge]], [[Christmas Tree]], [[Troll]], [[Hydra]] and [[Gargoyle]]. The overall attraction rate of regular cheese is rather low in this location, but the [[Abominable Snow Mouse]] is still attracted to your trap.
 
 
 
During the [[Great Winter Hunt 2010]], a new wave of mice invaded the Festive Comet. Led by the Scrooge Mouse, these stronger mice ([[Diamond]], [[Gladiator]], [[Gold]], [[Harpy]], [[Lambent Crystal]], [[Monster]], [[Mouse of Winter Past]], [[Stealth]], [[Vinetail]], and [[Zombie]]) have been found to be especially attracted to [[Seasoned Gouda]] cheese.

Welcome to the Festive Comet, MouseHunter!
 
 
 
This massive snowy comet smashed into Gnawnia resulting in an explosion of candy canes and snow! It's arrival in [[Gnawnia]] marks the beginning of the Great Winter Hunt!
 
 
 
Some pesky [[Elf]] mice have ran off with presents. If you catch an Elf mouse you'll find a gift specially wrapped depending on your [[Hunter's Title]]. Many of the gifts contain a little cheese to help you in your hunting, but occasionally you may just find something a little more special. To attract Elf mice more often, I suggest using '''[[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]]''' or '''[[Cheese#Gingerbread|Gingerbread]] Cheese''' as bait.
 
 
 
During the lighting of the Great Winter Tree, barrels of egg nog suddently exploded and the mice used the distraction to steal the star from the top of the tree! The mice have a schedule for their devious plot, and the bosses will only reveal themselves if the minions fail. Click the calandar icon on your heads-up display to see when each mouse is being released.<sup>1</sup>
 
 
 
Don't forget your mittens and toque! Happy holiday hunting!

===Festive Hunting tips by [[Larry]]===
 
There's a lot going on at the Festive Comet and Larry the Friendly Knight wanted to give a few pointers to hunters on how best to hunt the various groups of mice invading the comet.
 
 
 
Gingerbread will attract the 12 Mice of Winter, with SUPER|brie+ being even more effective.
 
 
 
Seasoned Gouda will not only attract the 12 Mice of Winter, but will also attract The Three Ghosts of Winter and other powerful mice that drop upgrade pieces for the Explosive Toboggan Ride.
