The fine folks of Smokywood Pastures aren’t letting a little thing like a shattered sky and ominous portents get in the way of spreading holiday cheer—or gaining a bit of profit. Winter Veil has begun in Azeroth, and with it come all the fripperies, fineries, and delectable comestibles of the holiday.

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.

New This Year

Dragonflight

'Tis the season for celebration! Strongholds are decked out in festive cheer, and gifts are stacked under the trees. The Feast of Winter Veil has arrived in Azeroth with fresh items added to expand growing Collections.

The Abominable Greench is upping the ante after his Metzen-nabbing shenanigans with new rewards. Storm his cave and save Metzen for a chance at merrymaking rewards:

: Deck your drake in festive flare appropriate for the season with a big red nose, antlers, and a sleigh-like saddle fit for a jolly rider.

: The more, the merrier when you summon Pepe in a tiny sleigh to adventure together.

The joyful season has inspired a variety of Bosses to share in lighthearted fun 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.
