Event noticeboards and town criers promote the event in various locations, and Spencer in the Burthorpe event area. The event interface, found in the Community interface, can be used for an overview of the event and free teleports to Christmas Village.

Christmas Village

The Christmas Village

The Christmas Village is a seasonal hub located within the Land of Snow. It can be accessed through several ways, including with the Christmas Village portal in the Burthorpe event area or a seasonal addition to the Lodestone Network. It contains seasonal activities players can repeat; each one rewards players with Christmas spirit, a currency that can be spent at the Christmas Spirit Shop.

Group Ironmen (Ranked) and Competitive Group Ironmen are unable to receive experience from skilling in the Christmas Village.

Activities

Decoration making

After completing the It's Snow Bother quest, Construction experience may be earned by creating decorations at the decoration bench. Unfinished decorations can be taken from the crate of unfinished decorations south of the bench and finished decorations can be deposited at the crate of finished decorations on the table south-west of the bench.

Creating decorations at the decoration bench first changes an unfinished decoration into a work-in-progress decoration, and yields 1 point of progress out of 50 every 5 ticks (3 seconds), which gives 1 Christmas spirit and up to 45.5 Construction experience depending on player's Construction level. Progress is gained continuously without needing any player input until the decoration becomes a finished decoration. A new work-in-progress decoration can be then started at the decoration bench, which with moderate efficiency takes 1 tick (0.6 seconds) extra time. Depositing the finished decorations awards 100 further Christmas spirit per decoration, taking 7 ticks (4.2 seconds) with moderate efficiency. As many unfinished decorations as can fit in the player's backpack can be taken at once with the "take all" option.

Each decoration takes 2.5 minutes of continuous progress at the decoration bench to create, rewarding a total of up to 2,275 experience.

The following table outlines the steps required for one decoration.

Step	Facility	Instruction	Christmas spirit	Construction experience
1	Crate of unfinished decorations	Take the unfinished decorations (1/interaction)	N/A	N/A
2	Decoration bench	Work on work-in-progress decoration, requiring 50 progress	50 (1/increment)	Up to 2,275 (up to 45.5/increment)
3	Crate of finished decorations	Deposit the finished decorations	100	N/A
N/A	N/A	Cumulative per completed decoration	150	Up to 2,275 (up to 45.5/increment)

The following table lists some average statistics for using this activity, assuming 28 decorations being deposited at once and moderate efficiency in taking, starting creating, and depositing the decorations at level 99 Construction.

Fir chopping

Players can find firs around the village that they can chop down for 2 Christmas spirit and Woodcutting experience (scaling with the player's level in Woodcutting, up to 50.6 per set of logs at level 110 Woodcutting) per set of logs. The resulting fir logs can then be taken to the nearby log splitting stump and split for 2 more Christmas spirit and more experience (up to 101.2 per set of split fir logs at level 110 Woodcutting) each. Finally, players can deposit the split fir logs into the split log stockpile for a final burst of Christmas spirit, yielding 6 Christmas spirit per set of split fir logs deposited.

Most of the firs can be found near the log splitting stump.

A set of fir logs is obtained every 3 ticks (1.8 seconds) with approximately 22% chance, and a tree has an approximately 8% chance to fall whenever this happens. Splitting the logs takes 5 ticks (3 seconds) each. Moving between the trees after they fall can be done in 3 ticks (1.8 seconds), and moving to the log splitting stump, depositing the logs at the split log stockpile, and moving back to the nearest firs takes 18 ticks (10.8 seconds) with moderate efficiency. Assuming that the player processes a full backpack of fir logs at once at level 110 Woodcutting, the following table presents some average statistics for using this activity.

Christmas spirit per hour	Woodcutting experience per hour
3,123	47,413.7

Woodcutting experience

The Woodcutting experience earned from chopping firs is 1 for levels 1–2, and for levels 3–110 it is equal to the player's Woodcutting level ($L$ below) multiplied by 0.46 and rounded down to the nearest tenth. This can be represented by the formula:

$X{P}_{chop}=\max (1,\frac{\lfloor 4.6\times L\rfloor }{10})$

Splitting the logs awards experience in a similar manner, but the multipler is doubled to 0.92. This can be represented by the formula:

$X{P}_{split}=\max (1,\frac{\lfloor 9.2\times L\rfloor }{10})$

Experience per set of logs

Hot chocolate brewing

After completing the quest A Christmas Reunion, players can assist Aoife with the hot chocolate pot which grants Christmas spirit and Cooking experience scaled to player's Cooking level.

While assisting Aoife with the hot chocolate pot, 2 Christmas spirit and Cooking experience is gained every 7 ticks (4.2 seconds), with experience gained ranging from 1 at level 1 to 22.7 at level 99. Every 70 ticks (42 seconds) Aoife will call out for chocolate chunks, firewood, milk, spices, or sugar to be added to the pot, which can be taken from the respective scenery objects around the kitchen. Assisting Aoife with the hot chocolate pot with the correct ingredient or firewood awards additional 25 Christmas spirit and up to 227.7 Cooking experience.

This activity does not fill cooking urns.

The following table outlines different actions related to this activity and rewards from them.

Action	Christmas spirit	Cooking experience
Passive interaction	2/action	Up to 22.7/action
Adding ingredients or firewood	25	Up to 227.7

Aiofe may ask for one of the following:

Hungry reindeer

Main article: Hungry reindeer

A hungry reindeer is found south-west of Diango's Workshop. It can be fed 25 pieces of unnoted Christmas food per day for 20 Christmas spirit per piece and a chance to obtain the Rudi reindeer pet item. After feeding, it turns into a well fed reindeer. More Christmas food, both unnoted and noted, and unlimited in amount, can be added to the food through nearby for 1 Christmas spirit per 5 pieces for more chances to obtain Rudi.

Ice fishing

Ice fishing area

Fishing experience may be earned by catching frozen trout, salmon, and bass at the icy fishing spot, which can be deposited at the nearby barrels of fish.

Players have a chance to receive a fish every 4 ticks (2.4 seconds), and which fish is received, or no fish at all, is random, with approximately 50% chance of success. 1 Christmas spirit is awarded every time a fish is caught, and depositing the frozen trout, salmon, or bass awards 2, 4, or 8 Christmas spirit respectively. The experience gained for each fish caught scales by the player's Fishing level, up to 57.4 experience at level 99.

Dwarven fish extractor, fury shark outfit, and waterfiend familiar work for doubling fish. Augmented fishing tools gain item experience when used for this activity. This activity also fills fishing urns.

It is possible to earn the Bubbles pet from skilling at this station.

Using the southern barrel of fish, it is possible to not waste any time depositing the fish. The following table lists some approximated average statistics for using this activity with different methods, assuming no time being wasted when disposing fish at level 99 Fishing and no boosts being used.

Method	Christmas spirit per hour	Fishing experience per hour
Not depositing at the barrels of fish	750	43,050

Present delivery

After completing It's Snow Bother, players can deliver one present a day to its recipient with Santa's sack for 200 Christmas spirit.

Snow impling catching

Snow implings in the Christmas Village and around Gielinor can be caught for 10 Hunter experience, some festive-themed food or coal, and 100 Christmas spirit each.

Snowball creation

Fletching experience may be earned by creating snowballs at the pile of snow. Smokey the coal will appear at random times while creating snowballs and can be pelted with three equipped snowballs to fully cool him, yielding extra Christmas spirit at cost of some experience.

A snowball is created every three game ticks (1.8 seconds), which awards one Christmas spirit and 1–25.3 Fletching experience scaled to the player's Fletching level. The created snowballs are stackable and can be wielded, but newly created snowballs will always go to the player's backpack. Snowballs can be disassembled for Invention materials.

Smokey the coal will appear on average approximately once in three minutes, yielding 75 Christmas spirit if cooled down successfully with snowballs. Cooling him down can be done in about 3.6 seconds with moderate efficiency. Failing to cool him down in 18 seconds causes him to cool down on his own without rewarding Christmas spirit.

It is possible to earn the Flo pet from this activity.

The following table lists some average statistics for using this activity with different methods, assuming moderate efficiency at level 110 Fletching.

Method	Christmas spirit per hour	Fletching experience per hour
Not pelting Smokey	2,000	50,600
Pelting Smokey	3,460	49,588

Fletching experience

The Fletching experience earned is 1 for levels 1–4, and for levels 5–110 it is equal to the player's Fletching level ($L$ below) multiplied by 0.23 and rounded down to the nearest tenth. This can be represented by the formula:

$XP=\max (1,\frac{\lfloor 2.3\times L\rfloor }{10})$

Toy production

After completing A Christmas Reunion quest, the player will be able to lend a hand crafting marionettes in Diango's Workshop for Christmas spirit and Crafting experience.

The following table outlines the steps required for one marionette.

Step	Facility	Instruction	Christmas spirit	Crafting experience
1	Crate of wood	Take dry fir wood, 5 pieces received at a time until backpack is full or the player interrupts	N/A	N/A
2	Carving bench	Craft marionette parts (4 pieces of wood each) and marionette handles (1 piece of wood each)	5 (1/step)	Up to 74 (up to 14.8/step)
3	Painting bench	Paint the incomplete marionettes	1	Up to 89.1
4	Finishing bench	Assemble the painted marionettes	1	Up to 148.5
5	Maeve	Hand in complete marionettes by talking to Maeve	40	N/A
N/A	N/A	Cumulative per completed marionette	47	Up to 311.6

Actions at each facility will continue until the player runs out of materials, or, in the case of the crate of wood, backpack space. With at most three other items in backpack, crafting 25 dry fir wood into marionettes and turning them in to Maeve can be done in 2 minutes and 40.2 seconds with moderate efficiency, awarding 235 Christmas spirit and 1,558 Crafting experience at level 99 Crafting.

Christmas Spirit Shop

Main article: Christmas Spirit Shop

The Christmas Spirit Shop is a time-limited shop run by Holly at the Christmas Village that sells cosmetics from the 2024 and 2023 Christmas events, as well as cosmetics over the years.

Mystery gift

Main article: Mystery gift (Christmas Village)

Mystery gifts are items that can be bought from the Christmas Spirit Shop. They can be opened for rewards, destroying the gifts in the process.

Secret Santa gift exchange

Players may give and receive gifts in a Secret Santa fashion by interacting with Not-So-Secret-Santa near the giant present west of the bank chest. Additionally, players may receive one medium prismatic lamp each day by donating items with a cumulative total of 100,000 coins or more. Donating at least 100,000 coins worth of items (or coins themselves) at once on 15 different days during the event will reward the The Secret Santa title. Donating at least 200 million coins at once will unlock The Top Secret Santa title.

Giant present

Main article: Giant present

The giant present is located near Not-So-Secret-Santa in the southern part of the Christmas Village. Players can click it to obtain a special gift on or after Christmas Day, 25 December 2024, until 6 January 2025.

Sled

Main article: Sled (Christmas Village, scenery)

A sled is located at the eastern end of the frozen lake in the southern part of the Christmas Village. Interacting with it gives the player a wieldable sled they can ride around on in the village.

Santa's lodge

Santa's lodge

Santa has departed for the final time this year.

At the north end of the village (where Clementine can be found) sits Santa's lodge—a cabin with Christmas decorations—and Pile of Santa's Presents, a sleigh filled with presents. Every week during the event, except 5 January 2025, Santa Claus will be in the lodge from 20:00 to 22:00 game time on Sunday evenings.

For thirty minutes prior to Santa's arrival, from 19:30 to 20:00 game time, Dolph, Felix, and Ru appear in the front of the lodge. Felix appears every 5 minutes, until 19:55, and throws out some white and blue Christmas Presents onto the ground for players to pick up and blue Christmas Presents directly at each player in the area. Dolph announces time until Santa Claus' arrival, and Ru until the next present drop.

Buddy, coal store, and snowman also appear with the rest of the snow imps, and can be used to transmogrify the players into various variants of snow imps, lumps of coal, and snowmen, respectively. They remain until Santa Claus departs.

Letters to Santa

Players could collect three letters to Santa daily until the end of 29 December 2024 by:

• Completing all of their Daily Challenges.
• Speaking to Clementine outside Santa's lodge.
• Participating in the activities yielding Christmas spirit.

Missed or destroyed daily letters can be bought in the Christmas Spirit Shop for 400 Christmas spirit each.

Nice Points

Posting the letters to Santa at the Wintumber Postbox (next to Clementine) will earn the player Nice Points which reward winter cosmetics each week as well as granting a small chance to be rewarded a black partyhat. A Nice Point is given for every three letters posted. Each letter posted also yields either a blue or a purple Christmas Present.

Each week players only need to earn 1 Nice Point to be in the draw, but for every additional point they have earned that week, the chance to receive a black partyhat is increased. Players can obtain enough letters to gain a maximum of seven Nice Points per week.

Weekly gifts from Santa

Upon Santa's arrival, players who earned a Nice Point will be able to enter his lodge and collect their weekly gift. The weekly gifts are:

• Week 1 (8 December): Cosy Pyjamas (Trees) and Cosy Slippers (Zuk)
• Week 2 (15 December): Cosy Pyjamas (Snowflakes) and Cosy Slippers (Plain)
• Week 3 (22 December): Cosy Pyjamas (Candy Canes) and Cosy Slippers (Penguin)
• Week 4 (29 December): Cosy Pyjamas (Plaid) and Cosy Slippers (Plaid)

On 5 January 2025, the announcements were made as if Santa would be visiting, but he didn't make an appearance.

If players are unable to attend the lodge when Santa has arrived, they will find their gift in the pile of Santa's Presents just outside the lodge. The black partyhat can be won from the presents.

Nice list

When Santa Claus arrives at Santa's lodge, anyone on the "nice list" (players who have earned at least one Nice Point) will receive gifts—one of which could be a black partyhat, an ultra rare tradeable item. Winners of the hat can either be from a present when Santa arrives or by taking a present from the sleigh. The winner will set off a celebratory set of fireworks at the lodge and an anonymous broadcast that a black partyhat dropped on that world.
