What is the Winterfest Schedule?

ree
Winterfest runs from December 21 to January 1 at 2:00 UTC, and the Rankings calculation begins right after the event ends. It may take some time for the final results to appear.
After Winterfest ends, the Tree will remain in the city until January 8, 2:00 am UTC, so you can open any remaining presents and review the final Rankings.

What are the Winterfest Events?

Note: This information is from 2024; they may have changed things for 2025!
