Christmas 2024 was designed with the goal of bringing the community a festive experience during the holiday season by providing multiple activities for players to enjoy. From exchanging gifts to getting stuck in the maze with your friends or decorating a snowman, the event offered a variety of activities to bring the community together. | |||
===<u>Event site</u>=== | ===<u>Event site</u>=== | ||
The event was situated within a large ice spikes biome and centred around a mountain with a giant snow globe on top, creating a prominent landmark visible from across the site. A swirling path led players up the mountainside, which lined with activities and decorated with Christmas-themed decorations to explore along the way. | |||
The snow globe structure was divided into two main sections. The lower level, where players would enter, featured a decorated Christmas market complete with a stall to meet Santa. Along the outer wall, several festive displays were built to showcase all of the event's builders, each placed in a different Christmas setting. From this lower layer, players could take one of the staircases going up and enter the interior of the globe itself. Inside, a large Christmas tree stood at the centre, surrounded by snowflakes in the air. | |||
