[h2]A ho ho hoy Ylanders![/h2] A cup of hot chocolate next to you, a fluffy blanket around your shoulders, a soothing crackling fireplace in front of you and then... *SPLAT* a snowball hits you in the face! Well, not you, but your Ylands character! [b]Welcome to YLANDS WINTER FEST![/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28068198/9cccc0a4dcbfafc61a69be17c1c224bcdebb9d5b.jpg[/img] We hope that you are ready to spend this winter in the world of Ylands, exploring the lands and searching for 6 new Christmas themed animals and 10 different kinds of collectible toys, completing 3 new achievements, and throwing snowballs left and right! So what have we prepared for you in this time-limited winter event? [hr][/hr] [h2]New Christmas Animals[/h2] Six kinds of our animals have put on Christmas bling and can now be seen roaming around their respective regions. These can be tamed using a special Christmas bait which is found as a reward in random encounters. If you want to befriend these special animals and keep them even after the event ends, hurry up and go tame them now!

Can you collect all 10 kinds of toys and earn a special new achievement? You will of course get to keep all the toys you collect even after the Winter Fest event is over. And then you can spread the joy and give them as gifts to your friends in the game!

Who was it? *brushes snow from face* We're just trying to peacefully explain all that's new and available during the Winter Fest and you go throwing snowballs at us?! Well, we can't really blame you, because throwing snowballs you discover in random encounters is sooooo much fun! We will even organize a snowball fight with the developers on December 21 at 5pm CET!

Don't forget to show them off, it's no small feat to gather all three! And if you complete all of them, [url=https://discord.com/invite/K8rdWTNq?event=1178712804258238525][b]run to our Discord and let us know![/b][/url] The first three people to do so will win a free pet!

Definitely. Is the Santa's elf who went to the ocean instead of Socky struggling in the depths of the water? Who knows 😅. In any case, grab Socky from the shop before his exchange program ends! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28068198/d7e83e6a88bc9f5b5eea37ecf56dacdd646aa2a7.jpg[/img] All the new things that Winter Fest is bringing are just tools for you to shape your own holiday adventure and we love to see how you use them, so please [url=discord.com/invite/ylands][b]join our Discord[/b][/url] and let us know!
