==== Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon ====
The first signs of slush have appeared as the Festive Comet slowly begins to melt. Ol' King Coal is becoming deterred by the constant meddling from hunters driving his profits deeper and deeper into the red. The muddy, less-than-festive ground conditions have caused mice to no longer carry Great Winter Hunt supplies.

These Kegs of Queso can be collected '''anywhere in the region''', including the Queso Geyser! Fortunately, the kegs are heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safely float in the liquid hot queso at the geyser. As a result, the kegs will appear as loot drops directly from mice and not in nests.
Pecan Pecorino, Golem Parts, Sugar Cookies, and other festive items can no longer be found as loot drops.
