====The Nougat Core of the Festive Comet====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
−
It's that time of year -- the Festive Comet has crashed into Gnawnia in all its festive glory! It seems the comet passed through some rather interesting areas of space en route to Gnawnia, as it consists of several chocolately, crunchy, candy layers!
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
Some of the comet's layers are composed of materials you'd expect, such as snow and ice, however, there's also more exotic layers such as yule log, egg nog, and even a thick sweater! At the comet's very core is an extremely dense concentration of nougat that has attracted an especially troublesome mouse with its sweetness -- The Naughty Nougat Mouse!
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
The Naughty Nougat Mouse has concealed itself within the dense nougat core of the comet where it's plotting a not-so-sweet invasion of Gnawnia. Hunters have been tasked with digging through the many layers of the comet to confront this mischievous mouse.
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
−
====Excavating the Festive Comet====
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
−
The comet consists of 10 layers, each thicker than the last. Digging a tunnel to the center will be no small feat, requiring some serious explosives!
 
  
−
Luckily, a recent goof up by the scientists of Digby resulted in some festive crackers packed with far too much concentrated fun powder. These highly explosive crackers were already sent for safe burial throughout the Kingdom, but the King has an idea on how to use the magical snow of the comet to retrieve these powerful explosives for a greater purpose...
+

====Building Magical Snow Golems====
+
</blockquote> -->
−
The magical snow at the comet makes more than your average snowman, it can create sturdy and strong snow golems! While hunting at the Festive Comet with a new nutty flavour of cheese called Pecan Pecorino, you'll collect various Snow Golem parts from mice as loot. Gather a head, torso, and four limbs to bring a Snow Golem to life! The golems can be sent out to retrieve the Explosive Christmas Crackers, along with other valuable loot depending on where you send them.

=== [{{MHdomain}}/newspost.php?news_post_id=808 The Great Winter Hunt is Coming to an End!] ===
 +
''{{date|9|January|2024}}''
  
−
You can use any type of cheese to collect Pecan Pecorino, however, SUPER|brie+ and old festive event cheese will attract mice that drop this new event cheese more often.
+
'''The Taiga is thawing'''
 +
Fire your final hailstones and send out your final golems!
  
−
Once your golem returns with an Explosive Christmas Cracker, you can use it to bust through the first layer of the comet. Excavating the comet will not only dig a tunnel to traverse it, but also grant valuable Snow Golem Reinforcing Ice Shards that you can use to upgrade your golems into even stronger versions that will return with more loot and more Explosive Christmas Cracker!
+

−
Have too many of a specific type of golem part? Use the recycler on the heads-up display to smash parts into Animated Snow which you can then use to create a different type of part. You can also use Animated Snow to purchase a Festive Summoning Bell that will instantly call your golem back with its entire load of loot!

====Snow Golem Architect Mouse====
+
Soon all the snow will be gone and the Frost King and his forces will go into hiding for another year.
−
These mice are roaming the Festive Comet, collecting stockpiles of Snow Golem parts to work on their ever evolving golem designs. Their intense focus makes them hard to lure to a trap. In order to bring them about you'll need to use Let It Snow Charms to create a tempting flurry of magical snow bring them toward your trap.
 
  
−
The Snow Golem Architect Mouse always drops two Snow Golem Limbs and has a chance to drop one or both Snow Golem Head and Snow Golem Torso, meaning you can find up to four golem parts when capturing this mouse!
 
  
−
Have Winter Charms from previous years? They'll attract the Snowflake Mouse who drops both a piece of Pecan Pecorino as well a Let It Snow Charm. You'll also find Winter Charms as occasional loot drops, as prizes from the Snowball Showdown, and they occasionally appear as the gift of the day.

====Confronting the Naughty Nougat Mouse====
+
The following things will remain the same '''until January 16''' when the event shuts down completely:
−
Geology experts studying the structure of the Festive Comet warn that its nougat core is highly unstable (and delicious). Your showdown with the Naughty Nougat Mouse is certain to cause a disturbance that will destabilize the nougat core, collapsing the tunnel you've dug. Each time you capture the Naughty Nougat Mouse, you'll be ejected from the centre of the comet, and you'll need to dig a new tunnel. However, as you upgrade your Snow Golems, you'll collect more and more Festive Explosive Crackers, making returning to the core quicker and quicker!
+
*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>
  
−
Each time you capture the Naughty Nougat Mouse, you'll recover a delicious Nugget of Nougat from the core. These delicious morsels are highly prized sweets that the local shopkeepers are sure to be interested in. You can exchange your Nuggets of Nougat at the various festive shoppes for a variety of new Limited Edition equipment!
