With Christmas quickly approaching, most Massively Multiplayer Online games have changed their main cities to fit the time of year with a festive theme. Furthermore, many MMOs have added Christmas-based events that allow you do special things that give you items found only this time of year. Some of the games that partake in this festive event include:
Maplestory
With the recent release of the Big Bang Patch, Maplestory has still been able to manage a Christmas event. An update from the Maplestory site mentioned that there will be seasonal items available to purchase with other specific items found on distinct mobs for the White Christmas Tree event. Nexon also has something called the “12 Days of Christmas Offers,” in which you can buy certain merch at a discounted price.
Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy is in the midst of its Starlight Celebration. There are dozens of special holiday activities, including collecting the materials to get the dream set, which will allow you to look like Santa’s helper.
Aion
Aion has its Solorius festival in town with a bunch of different activities available. During the ten day celebration, there is a variety of items for you to get, including Lenatinerk’s Gift which is a super awesome BOX FILLED WITH SOCKS!!!!
City of Heroes
City of Heroes surely knows how to celebrate these exciting times with its 2010 winter event. The fun starts as soon as you log on; they instantly give you an earmuff costume piece to protect you from cold weather while you are fighting crime. They also give you a temporary power that allows you to save money on the gifts for your family and friends with a 48-hour debt protection. The last login gift is a Holiday Cheer, which gives you a variety of random holiday items.
World of Warcraft
The Feast of Winter Veil has arrived in Azeroth with dozens of quests, items, and gear sets. The Festival will last until 2 January, and, with the new expansion, the holiday patch makes it all the more fun. Here’s a special song from Blizzard:

“Twas the feast of Great-Winter And all through the landThere are plenty of cool winter events around this time of year and each is a little different from the other. Which ones are your favorites?All the races were running With snowballs in hand.
The cooks were all frantic And for those “in the know” Swoops and owls were crashing Like new-fallen snow. Cookies and eggnog Were consumed by all As the snowballs flew freely And drunks smashed into walls. May your feast of Great-Winter Be one merry and bright And from all here at Blizzard We wish you a fun night!”
