Talking about the start date of the event, it is impossible to say exactly when it will happen, so let’s speculate a little. Given what we saw in previous years, it is likely to be released in mid-December, just 2–3 weeks before the new year. Also, developers usually release updates on Thursdays, so it will likely start on December 14. Besides, one of the developers' tweets says the following:

“There will be 14/15 FREE Winterfest gifts you can claim, one per day VIA the Winterfest Cabin.”

This hints us how long the event will last. It will be at least 14 or 15 days or a little bit more. Thus, the release date of the event is likely to be December 14.

  • Lighting Fireworks
  • Delivering Packages
  • Dancing on a Dance Floor
  • Stashing Presents
  • Festive Creatures
