This little guy has collected a pile of "Lucky" trinkets: a funky lucky sock that he'll never remove because he claims it once messed up a Monstrobot's sensors, lucky beads that managed to jam a trap's trigger mechanism without him even noticing, and his lucky belt that has... been a good conversation starter at least.
 
  
But also in his possession is a collection of ''actual'' Luck Charms, Super Luck Charms, and even Ultimate Luck Charms! Seek him out and catch him in your trap to claim your lucky prize!

===The Great Winter... Shopping Spree?===

<blockquote>
====The Great Winter... Shopping Spree?====
 
Long ago, a little mouse called Albert had his heart broken repeatedly by Santa when he asked and asked for presents every year, but never received them. This continued year after year until finally he decided he'd had enough, and would get his own presents from then on!
 
  
We didn't hear much from him after that until this year, when — immediately after the Festive Comet landed — a collection of construction vehicles with "Greedy Al" emblazoned on the side showed up, plowed the Festive Comet flat, and built a huge big-box store right on top of it! Then they left, but only after having distributed the following flyer to everyone around:
+
==== The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End ====
 +
Congratulations MouseHunters, thanks to your valiant efforts, the Frost King's forces are retreating!
  
[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=432079030179421 Flyer]
+
After the relentless barrage of Hailstones from the brave hunters of Gnawnia, the Frost King's icy powers are waning and the Great Winter Taiga is beginning to thaw.
  
====Hysteria! Chaos! Confusion!====
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.
Everything is ruined! Or is it? Perhaps if we can restore Greedy Al's faith in the spirit of the season — the spirit of giving — we can prevent everyone from devolving into selfish curmudgeons and save everything!
 
  
Hunters have been reporting sightings of a confused-looking mouse with a mailbag, handing out old letters of Al's. Each has a clue to an old toy that he wanted and didn't get. If we can just re-create that toy — or a reasonable version of it — and give it to him, perhaps we can warm his heart enough to get him to see joy again!
 
  
'''Hunt ANYWHERE in MouseHunt the land for the Confused Courier, read the letter, and head to the MegaBuy Mart!'''
+
<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt has entered the shutdown phase'''</div>
  
====How Can I Help?====
+
The following changes have happened in the Taiga:
Start out by hunting all over for that Confused Courier! When you find him, he'll drop a letter that explains the plight that has befallen Al, and you'll be allowed into the MegaBuy Mart. Once you're inside, hunt mice and collect the Festive Feta they'll drop. You're going to need a lot! Try using SUPER|brie+, which will attract the Snowflake mouse, who drops extra Festive Feta.
+
*Mice are no longer dropping Golem Parts or Pecan Pecorino
 +
*Mice in Cinnamon Hill are no longer dropping Compressed Cinnamon
  
* [[Festive Feta]]
+
The following things will remain the same '''until January 16''' when the event shuts down completely:
Hunt with Festive Feta in the MegaBuy Mart to attract the Confused Courier again, only this time he'll drop a letter with the details of a toy from Greedy Al's youth that you'll need to build. Keep using Festive Feta to catch a new mouse that drops the parts for this first toy.
+
*Golems can still be built and sent out
 +
*Cinnamon can still power the Forges in the Golem Part Workshop
 +
*Hailstones can still be fired at the Ice Fortress</div>
  
You only have a few days to collect all the parts you need before a new mouse appears and the old one gets rarer, so hurry up!
 
  
* [[Winter Charm]]
+
<div style="text-align: left; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em"><div style="text-align: center; font-size: 115%;">'''The Great Winter Hunt will end completely on'''<br>'''Tuesday, January 16, 2024'''</div>
To speed things up, consider hunting with Winter Charms, which you can purchase from the shop with two Festive Feta. These will attract Snowflake mice, who drop Ice Coins, and will help you attract mice who drop toy parts from previous days in case you fall behind while building toys.
 
  
Depending on the toy being built, you will also attract the Winter Past/Present/Future, Scrooge, Mad Elf, and Squeaker Claws mice from Great Winter Hunts passed who will help you build the different toys on different days.
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
* [[Wrapped Gift Trap]]
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be '''removed from your inventory''':
When you have all the toys completed, you can use the toys you created plus the Ice Coins the mice have been dropping to buy the Wrapped Gift Trap, which you can use to give Greedy Al his presents! Your reward will be an exceedingly special trap, unique from all other traps in the game!

*Animated Snow

*Reinforced Ice Shards

*Compressed Cinnamon

==== Last Chance for Limited Time Bundles ====
When you're done collecting toy parts, you can still collect Ice Coins. You're going to need a lot for the final trap, but there's also a new Winter Theme, and all kinds of crates and goodies you can exchange them for!
+
These limited time bundles will be gone from the Premium Shop on Tuesday, January 16 so pick them up while you still can!
  
You can also get Ice Coins by equipping Winter Charms and catching Snowflake mice! Why wait until you're done all the toy-building? Get those special festive rewards now!
