Winter Festivities

Winter festivities are activities that can be participated in during the Winter Festival event. They are one of the primary sources of Winter Tokens. There are nine different festivities: lighting candles, petting animals, camping, calming animals, playing in the snow, helping different characters, chasing yule goats, finding wild deer, and getting companions to follow the player on their journeys. They can be found each hour by following the northern lights to their location. Usually, players can ride to the location and receive the Winter Token by riding close to it, although in some cases, an activity needs to be completed to earn the Warm Wishes. The winter festivities were first introduced in the 2020 event,[1] and have returned each year since then.
Possible activities

| Camping and lighting lanterns | Mountain top between Firgrove Village and Valedale Lake (The Red String Trail Ride), Moorland Square Paddock, Firgrove/Valedale mountains, Observatory 12, Nilmer's Highland near the circus tent | 1 | The token will be placed in the middle of the campfire. Players may light as many lanterns as they wish. The lanterns do not require a cost to be used. |
| Camping and music | Smugglers Roost, The Everwind Fields, Forgotten Fields, South Hoof Peninsula, Moorland Event Field, the Silverglade Sandpit, Dew's Farm | 1 | For 10 Jorvik Shillings, players can listen to Lisa Peterson (Darkness Falling, Simple Things, Stars), Folk'Avant (The Light Ride, Valedale Hymn) and Nomi (Fire) songs. |

| Cozying up at a campsite and stargazing with Sunshine Joytree | Jorvik Stables Arena, Moorland event field, Everwind Fields, Fort Pinta Beach, Goldenleaf Heights on the Old King's Road, near The Circus Tent, Druid Paddock | 1 | Players can see the constellations through the telescopes and read about them from the book on the table. |
| Friendship candle lighting | The Everwind Fields, Jorvik Stables Arena, Sunset Island, Druid Paddock | 2 | Three players must stand for a certain period at one of the three candles to receive the wishes. |
| Following animals | Moorland Square Paddock, Mistfall Keel's Paddock, Moorland Event Field. The Everwind Fields, Nilmer's Highland | 1 | Players can click on an animal (which can be baby penguins, moose, or deer) to follow them as they explore Jorvik. The animals disappear if the player calls for pickup, takes a trailer, or logs off. |
| James's snow play area | Moorland Event Field | 1 | Players can buy tickets to enter the snow pens. |
| NPCs need help finding Christmas gifts | Valedale Village, South Hoof Peninsula, Fort Pinta Stables, Silverglade Village, Jorvik Stables, Fort Pinta Beach, Moorland near the round paddock, Starshine Ranch, Moorland Championship, Hollow Woods, Marley's Farm | 1 | Players have 3 choices, and regardless of what option is chosen, a Winter Token is granted. Players may need to click on the NPC manually to receive the token. |
| Penguin Choir | Silversong River near Pony Point, Silversong River near Valedale, Icengate, Valedale Lake | 2 | Click on the large mother penguin in the middle next to Kora and replay the corresponding tune by clicking on the baby penguins.
The player must click the baby penguins starting from the bottom in the order of: 1st, 3rd, 5th, 2nd, 4th and 6th penguins. Only one set of penguins needs to be clicked. It is easier to do this while mounted on a horse. |
| Penguin performance | Silversong River near Valedale, Silversong River near Pony Point, Valedale Lake, Icendell | 1 | Clicking on the baby penguins to make them sing is optional and not necessary to grant a Winter Token. Here the player can dismount and make the baby penguins sing their designated musical notes. |
| Lost animals | Nic Stonground’s camp, Moorland Event Field, New Hillcrest, The Forgotten Fields | 2 | Find the lost baby animals along the pathway leading out of the camp and herd it back to Kora. The lost animals can be baby penguins, fawns, or bunnies. |
| Ice cannons | Moorland Event Field, Firgrove/Valedale mountains, Moorland Paddock, Riding Arena, The Overlook Chasm | 1 | Players can find a Winter Token in the middle of the cannon square. They may run or stand over the buttons behind each cannon to activate shooting snowballs. The snow cannons will launch the player's horse into the air if a cannonball hits it, or if the player when mounted, rams themselves into the cannon head. |
| Petting animals | Mistfall Paddock, Moorland square paddock, Cape West Fishing village, Moorland Event Field | 1 | Players may pet wolves, foxes, deer, squirrels, bears, chickens, sheep, cows, cats, dogs, and donkeys. |

The exact location of the baby yule goats will vary for each player, but are found in a common large area. Re-logging also changes the location of the baby yule goats. |
Note: Only one of each of the festivities can be completed each day in any location, so if the player has previously completed the quest at a location at a different time that day, the player will not be able to get the Winter Token again.

Rerolling
The update before the end of the Winter Festival usually introduces a "reroll" feature involving interacting with the capran Aurorus. This allows the player to reroll the festivity locations as many times as they please in order to collect Winter Tokens from each different festivity. Players are no longer limited to nine festivities per day once they use this function. The first time the player uses the reroll function, all three festivity locations will be randomized and freeze in that position until the player chooses to reroll again or log off.
Trivia
- If the player is at the location of one of the festivities while the hour changes, a glitch may occur where four northern lights are visible. However, only three of them can be completed, as one is just a left-over from the previous hour. This usually occurs with the activity where the player help NPCs choose gifts.
- In the 2020 event, the candle-placing activity at Starshine Ranch could be completed indefinitely and still reward Warm Wishes. This has since been fixed.
