**Letter on a Snowy Winter Night** was the 2023 Christmas event. It began on December 14th, 2023 and ended on December 27th, 2023. It was released alongside Season 29 Essence 3.

## Introduction

*As Christmas bells ring out, the stars in the night sky are obscured by an approaching snowstorm. A postman finds a stack of anonymous Christmas cards in the mailbox, forcing him to trudge through the streets and alleys in search of their recipients. These letters contain all manner of tales and encounters, filling the postman with wonder. Who knows? Perhaps your doorbell will be the next to ring?*

## Story

*The story can be read at the following page: Christmas & New Year's Day/2023/Story*

### Story Rewards

After completing each day of the story the player would receive the following rewards. Only one of the two Xmas Ensemble costumes could be obtained.

## Snow Globe Log-In Event

Players could shake the snow globe daily for 7 days in order to receive rewards.

## A Christmas Greeting Card

When first logging in during the event, a letter would be sent to the player's mailbox with the A-Tier Pet Jingle attached.

*A radiant star adorns the fir tree, and stockings rest on the bedside table. The fireplace crackles, filling the house with warmth, while the sweet scent of food and candies lingers in the air—this is the embodiment of our Christmas dreams. When moonlight and the first snowfall gently embrace the earth, the script of Christmas introduces a new chapter: an unexpected visitor tiptoes on the edge of our dreams, bestowing blessings with the chiming of bells.*

*To those who persist in pursuing their passions, may all your dreams and aspirations come true.*

*Wishing you a delightful evening and an early Merry Christmas!*

## Design Christmas Stocking

After completing all quests, carefully design your very own Christmas Stocking and wait for it to be filled during the holiday.

### Mystery Gift

Players could design a Christmas stocking by picking its decoration, color, and pattern. The decoration options included Lace, Pom-poms, and Terry Cloth. The colors were Red, Green, and Blue. The available patterns were Patch, Snowflake, and Polka Dot.

Stocking DecorationsStocking ColorsStocking Patterns
The stockings design would determine the graffiti and label received on Christmas Day (December 25th, 2023). Before this date, the stocking's design could be changed freely. Picking one of the first, second, and third options of the decorations, colors or patterns would grant The Feaster's letter, the Nameless Snowman graffiti, and the Forgotten Starlight label. All other combinations would grant the the First Snowfall graffiti and the Messenger on a Snowy Night label. Picking two or more of the 1st options of the decorations, colors, or patterns would grant the Postman letter, picking two or more of the 2nd options would grant the Painter letter, and picking two or more of the 3rd options would grant the First Officer letter. The player would also receive 20Fragments with their gift.

#### Letters

One of four letters would be sent with the mystery gift.
