Chill and be merry with your gnomies during the Feast of Winter Veil!
When:December 15 - January 2
Where:Initial holiday quests can be found in Orgrimmar and Ironforge, but festive decorations can be found throughout Azeroth.
The fine folks of Smokywood Pastures aren't letting anything get in the way of spreading holiday cheer-or gaining a bit of profit. Winter Veil has come to Azeroth, and with it come all the holiday's fripperies, fineries, and delectable comestibles.
'Tis the season for celebration! Strongholds are decked out in festive cheer, and gifts are stacked under the trees, and festive fun awaits champions!
Don yourself in seasonal threads available from the Holiday Vendors-wrap yourself in the seasons' finest colors with the Festive Red Holiday and Festive Green Holiday transmog set pieces (coat, vest, sweater, shirt, pants, shorts, boots, and belt), along with mirthful Toys and Battle Pets to make loot-seekers' spirits bright-seize your daily chance at getting the gift-thieving Grunch when you bring down the grumpy Greench.
The Abominable Greench is upping the ante after his Metzen-nabbing shenanigans with fresh rewards. We're sure that once you've filled up on the fine foods and beverages from Smokywood Pastures, you're bound to stop his reign of terror in the Hillsbrad Foothills. To make a long trek a bit merrier, hop aboard a festive sleigh ride from Dornogal to Ironforge or Orgrimmar for a connecting flight to rescue Metzen.
The joyful season has inspired a variety of bosses across Azeroth to share in the lighthearted fun by adorning themselves with hats, loot, and holiday decorations. However, don't be fooled; just because they're in the spirit of things doesn't change their miserable motivations-you'll want to battle as hard as usual to ensure they don't sour the season.
Dearest Dimensius threatens destruction in festive flair deep within Manaforge Omega!
While in the Feast of Winter Veil spirit, toss a /kiss to a Winter Reveler found celebrating the season underneath a sprig of mistletoe in inns around Azeroth to be rewarded with a token of gratitude in the form of Mistletoe, Fresh Holly, or Handful of Snowflakes that can be used for a variety of Feast of Winter Veil achievements.
Stop by the Smokeywoods Pastures cart in Ironforge or Orgrimmar and click on Greatfeather Pepe to obtain A Tiny Winter Hat. When you summon Pepe to join you on your adventures, he may just show up in the perfect Winter Veil outfit complete with a tiny beard.
Let your spirit be light by stepping into one of the Giant Snow Globes found outside of the Ironforge Bank, in Orgrimmar overlooking the Valley of Wisdom, or in the Broken Isles in Dalaran. It's a truly transformative experience letting your inner Greatfather Winter helper out. A little /dance will spread the joy to those around you.*
When:December 16 - January 2
Where:Initial holiday quests can be found in Orgrimmar and Ironforge, but festive decorations can be found throughout the world.
Don't forget to open all your presents on December 25 to see the surprises Greatfather Winter has left for you! Learn more about what the Feast of Winter Veil offers in Wowhead's holiday guide.
