Winter Veil


 * "The year is slowly winding down, but the merriment of Winter Veil is about to begin! Greatfather Winter is already on his way to spread holiday cheer in the Nexus, and he’s packing plenty of presents for everyone to enjoy during this year’s festivities."

The Winter Veil, also called the feast of Great-Winter, is a seasonal event from the Warcraft universe that takes place during December. It is the in-game counterpart of the Christmas and other holidays at the end of the year.

The event will be celebrated with new limited availability skins and mounts, and special event quests.

Background

 * Main article:
 * The Feast of Winter Veil is one of the most anticipated events of the year! While enjoying a freshly nutmegged cup of nog, and crunching on a crumbly cookie or two, be sure to visit Greatfather Winter in Ironforge if you’re Alliance, or Great-father Winter in Orgrimmar if you’re Horde. While there, you’ll find a few treats, and surely a few tasks to take on as well.

Temporary mount

 * Even the Scrooge-like Treasure Goblin has gotten into the holiday spirit by donning Greatfather Winter’s robes, and adorning himself with candy canes, bells, and bows. The Festive Treasure Goblin Mount will arrive alongside Winter Veil, but this limited-time Mount can’t be purchased. No, this particular Treasure Goblin is feeling extra generous, and will be available to all players for free during Winter Veil! Spread a few snowflakes around the Nexus this year by making sure to select the Festive Treasure Goblin mount before you hit that Ready button in your game lobbies.
