Monday, 2 December 2024, Cambridge, UK. Dive into festive fun, embark on an all-new seasonal quest and discover a winter wonderland glistening with holiday cheer as the Christmas Village returns to RuneScape today!

Ringing in the holidays in a new limited-time event, enjoy new seasonal activities, a brand-new area, and special festive rewards, including the arrival of the in-game Advent Calendar kickstarting the countdown to Christmas, with new rewards available each day – and an extra special giant gift available on December 25th. 

Get into the swing of the season by exploring Diango’s Workshop and aiding an old friend. Santa has enlisted Diango to help spread the Christmas cheer, but first, he’ll need help setting up his workshop. Take part in the brand-new quest ‘A Christmas Reunion’ to help Diango build his workshop, find pixie helpers, craft uniforms, and of course – stock up the breakroom with lots of festive treats. Help Diango to unlock the title of Diango's Little Helper, two Treasure Hunter keys, and access to Diango's Workshop Skilling Activities. 

Celebrate the festivities with a wintery world full of seasonal activities. Use your Cooking skill to make hot chocolates, paint toys with your Crafting skill, and chop down some festive fir trees with Woodcutting.  After a day in the snow, head to the warmth of Santa’s Lodge for a chance to earn the ultimate reward: the coveted Black Partyhat. Deliver letters to earn entries on the nice list and grab additional exclusive clothing rewards perfect for getting cosy this winter.
