Activities
Winter Veil Bosses
Winter Veil isn’t just popular among the citizenry—dungeon denizens throughout the world are also getting into the holiday spirit. Some dungeon bosses wear festive Winter Hats just like Greatfather Winter'—defeat a Winter Veil boss, and the boss' hat is yours!
Greatfather Winter
Greatfather Winter is visiting the great cities of Ironforge and Orgrimmar—courtesy of the fine folks of Smokywood Pastures—and he's spreading cheer in celebration of the Feast of Winter Veil. But, all the cheer—spreading is making Greatfather Winter hungry, and he's looking for helpful adventurers to fetch him some milk and cookies.
PX-238 Winter Wondervolt machines
Smokywood Pastures goblins have set up strange PX-238 Winter Wondervolt machines which can be used to change your character into a festive Little Helper! The buff lasts for 30 minutes but is removed by shapeshifting or death. Will you be red or green? It’s a surprise! You can refresh the duration of the buff at any time by stepping into the Wondervolt machine.
Revelers
During the Feast of Winter Veil, innkeepers bring out holiday decorations to provide a festive atmosphere for their patrons. Who knows what might happen if you /kiss a reveler standing near a sprig of mistletoe. . .
Smokywood Pastures' Missing Shipment
Smokywood Pastures needs a few brave adventurers to investigate the disappearance of a shipment of holiday goods. Rumors abound that the shipment has been snatched by The Abominable Greench, located somewhere in the snowy Alterac Mountains.
Metzen the Reindeer
Disaster has struck! Metzen the Reindeer—one of Greatfather Winter's eight reindeer (and the property of Smokywood Pastures) has been kidnapped! The Jinglepocket Goblins in Ironforge and Orgrimmar have received two ransom letters from groups claiming to have Metzen, so concerned adventurers should visit them for more information.
Jinglepocket Goblins' Fare Shops
The Jinglepocket Goblins have set up their seasonal shops in major cities. Inside, you can purchase many holiday favorites—including Greatfather's Winter Ale, candy canes, gingerbread cookie recipes, and mistletoe.
Snowmen
Historically, Greatfather Winter has always been accompanied in his journeys across Azeroth by his loyal snowmen. They can be found wandering around Ironforge and Orgrimmar, bringing the chill breath of winter into even the warmest climes.
Gift-Giving
In the quiet, early hours of the day on the 25th of December, the industrious goblins of Smokywood Pastures are already awake and busy. These generous harbingers of the holidays deposit gifts underneath the festively decorated trees in Orgrimmar and Ironforge as a much-deserved reward for the noble adventurers of Azeroth. Keep a keen eye out for these presents, as they're there for the taking!
Merchants & Vendors
These professional hoarders will sell you food, recipes, snowballs and more!
