Winter Holiday Event (2021)

On December 1st, 2021, the Imaginefun team unveiled their Winter Event which included several builds in and around spawn as well as several new items and collectables dedicated to some of the winter holidays celebrated by the community such as Hanukkah, Kwanza, and Christmas. They would also go on to create a new store with items only purchaseable through collecting limited edition winter holiday tokens and a series of small missions taking place around spawn.

## Holiday Village

The Holiday Village consists of 3 large builds surrounding spawn: A stable connected to a cozy fireplace area and letter station, A Hanukkah and Kwanza shop seperated by large signs giving brief summaries about the holidays as well as showing which Disney characters celebrate them, and a large snowman containing two hidden rooms and cradles the holiday crate as well as the Pinhoarder advent calendar npc and the holiday explination npc.

### Letter Writing Station

As a part of the event, guests were given a chance to write letters to Santa Claus in the days before Christmas. An elf would stand stationed in this area who would prompt the guest to enter a letter in chat to be stored and sent to Santa. On December 25th, this npc would be replaced by a postal worker who would give the guest a response letter written by Santa. Guests who did not send a letter by Christmas would instead see a message stating that the postal worker was unable to find their letter and ask if they had really sent a letter at all.

### Fireplace

A simple sitting area with several chairs that allowed guests to sit around the fire. Guests who managed to slip inside of the fireplace could find a small hidden area full of cobblestone stairs. Although originally empty, an image of a cooked shrimp standing before a wok full of what is presumed to be fried rice would later appear against a far wall. Above it would appear a sign reading, "No, there is NO way. I don't believe it." It can safely be assumed that this is a reference to the dish shrimp fried rice where in this instance it's used to a refer to a shrimp frying rice rather than fried rice that contains cooked shrimp. To the right of the fireplace is a small inaccessible room that is made to look like a kitchen. It is in this space that you can find Betty the Elf, a baker trained by Mrs. Claus.

### Hanukkah Shop

This is a storefront run by Stacy of the Stacy Shibe store. Rather than purchasing shibes, she is instead selling latkes for 1 Kingdom Coin each. To the left of this store is an area dedicated to a few couches and explination on how to use a dreidel.

Below this text is four symbols accompanied by their explinations. "Nun (Get nothing) Shin (Put in the pile) Hey (Get half!) Gimel (YOU WIN!)." In the center of the sitting area is a dreidel that spins infinitely and cannot be interacted with. To the left side of this area is a large pile of brown, yellow, and gold blocks. This is sectioned off and labeled "Gelt Supply."
