As usual, the winter update rings in the quiet time. The world slows down, and a magical holiday spirit fills the air. December offers a time to pause and to embrace the cosiness of the season. The aroma of Christmas cookies, cinnamon, oranges, pine and roasted chestnuts weaves through the crisp air, and white blankets of snow cover parts of the world. Loud noises become muffled, which adds a unique sound to the peaceful atmosphere. 
This is the perfect time to activate your quiet skills like crafting, drawing or writing - or what about a joyful round of Bingo with your friends, or a hunt through amounts of parcels challenging your luck?

What could be more fun during this time than participating in fansite events and winning some incredible prizes!

Just like in past years, several fansite admins have organised a series of events that you can participate in over the holidays.

Mark your calendars. All contests have a starting date between December 16 and December 20, and they will all run at least till January 6, 2025. You can check the current status of each event in the table below. Once an event has ended, the selection of winners will take place, and prizes will be delivered. All in all, ten fansites are participating in this year's Fansite Holiday Event series, offering eight different contests. You will find all details of the events on the fansites themselves. Just follow the links in the table below, they will take you directly to the contest descriptions.
