From chickens to iron golems and ghasts, every vanilla mob wears a 3D Santa hat and a cosy Christmas sweater. Leaves and grass are covered in snow, and the flowers turn into Christmas flowers.

🎩 Hats, sweaters and a snowy world

• Santa hats are 3D, fitted to every head (babies too), and follow every animation.
• Villagers, witches, illusioners and wandering traders swap their own hats for the Santa hat.
• Sweaters in red, green, or burgundy with gold. Four-legged animals wear a cosy full-body sweater.
• Mobs without arms or legs (fish, slimes, guardians, ghasts…) wear just the hat.
• Snowy landscape: white grass, snow and tiny fairy lights on the leaves, frosted grass and ferns.
• Vines become pine garlands with coloured bulbs that glow at night.
• Christmas flowers: poppy → poinsettia, dandelion → golden star, daisy → Christmas rose, rose bush → holly, and more.
• Painted from your own textures, so it works with any resource pack. You can turn it off in the client config (christmasLook).

Tame reindeer and fly them through the night sky. Trade with elves, dress up a snow golem, and beware the Yeti of the frozen peaks.

🦌 Reindeer

• Spawn in snowy taigas and snowy plains.
• Tame, saddle and breed them like horses, and feed them carrots, apples or berries.
• One in twenty is born as Rudolph, with a glowing red nose.
• Carry a Sleigh Bell and your reindeer flies: jump to take off.
• Saddled reindeer wear a red bridle, a green blanket and a collar of little bells.
• Animated trot, gallop, rearing, grazing and flying gallop.

🧝 Elves and the Toymaker

• Elves live in Santa's Workshop, where they sell toys and give you quests for materials.
• Your first finished quest earns you the Sleigh Bell.
• They hop around, hammer away at their work and jump for joy.
• Elves fight back with their little hammers and hunt the Yeti and evil snowmen.
• The Toymaker is a new villager profession that works at the Toymaker's Workbench.

⛄ Snowmen

• Give wool to a snow golem and it becomes a Festive Snowman, with a top hat and a scarf in the wool's colour. It never melts.
• At night the Evil Snowman roams the snow and throws ice shards at you.

👹 The Yeti (boss)

• A rare boss of the frozen peaks, with a boss health bar.
• Full keyframed attacks: it roars, throws hook punches, beats its chest, smashes the ground and hurls ice shards.
• Its eyes glow ice-blue in the dark.
• It drops Yeti fur and the Frozen Heart, which you need to craft the Sleigh Bell.

A brand-new structure in snowy biomes: a two-storey half-timbered house with a snowy red roof, a smoking chimney and a lantern-lit porch, with elves busy inside.

🏠 Inside the Workshop

• Ground floor: toy workbenches, long tables, a lit Christmas tree and a fireplace hung with stockings.
• Attic: beds, bookshelves, Santa's desk with The List, a wrapping table and a reading nook.
• Chests: presents, diamonds, golden apples, enchanted books and tools, food, and sometimes a worn piece of the Santa or Elf outfit.
• Barrels: workshop supplies (wool, string, paper, dyes, candles) and snacks.

On a random night, Santa crosses the sky in his gilded sleigh pulled by two reindeer. He waves, laughs "Ho ho ho!" and leaves presents under every Christmas tree with a star on top.

🛷 The sleigh and the Nice List

• A gilded, lacquered sleigh with curled golden runners, swinging lanterns, bells and a sack full of presents.
• If no tree has a star, Santa drops a present from the sky.
• Nice & Naughty List: earn points by breeding and taming animals, trading, sending letters and presents, and doing elf quests. Lose them by killing villagers, golems or pets.
• Naughty players get coal and a warning letter instead of presents. /xmas nice shows your score.
• Admins can call the sleigh with /xmas sleigh.

Every new village has a Christmas Mailbox next to its bell. Write to Santa, or send private letters and presents to any player, even while they are offline.

🎅 Letters to Santa Claus

Tell Santa what you love to do (mining, building, PvP, exploration, redstone or farming) and post your letter. After the next sunrise, Santa writes back with a handwritten reply in your own language and a generous present picked for your playstyle. It's one reply per player, and servers can let players write again every few days.

📮 Mail, gifts and Secret Santa

• Seal a private letter and wrap a present (a stack of any item, or a whole shulker box) in a Christmas Envelope. Only the sender and the recipient can read it.
• Sneak and right-click to place a wrapped present under your tree.
• An envelope on screen shows how many letters are waiting for you.
• Secret Santa: an admin opens sign-ups, players join from the mailbox, and the draw never gives you yourself. Presents can stay anonymous until the big reveal.
• Unclaimed mail returns to the sender after a while. Santa's and Secret Santa mail never expires.

Hang stockings over the fireplace, decorate your tree, string up lights and build a gingerbread house.

🎄 All the decorations

• Tall Christmas Tree that you decorate yourself with up to 12 baubles in 16 colours, a glowing star and twinkling string lights. Presents appear underneath.
• Seven Christmas Stockings: classic red, green, snowflake, candy stripe, tartan, golden star and nordic knit. They may fill up overnight with cookies, Gingerbread Men, an emerald or even a diamond.
• Christmas wreath, pine garland and twinkling string lights.
• Giant candy cane for the floor or the wall.
• Gingerbread set: gingerbread block, bricks with stairs and slabs, frosted bricks and an icing block.
• Snow bricks with stairs, slabs and walls.
• The Toymaker's Workbench and the Christmas Mailbox.

Turn your iron or diamond armour into a festive 3D outfit. You keep its protection and enchantments, and you run faster.

🎅 SANTA OUTFIT +12.5% speed per piece Full set: Resistance + Regeneration	🧝 ELF OUTFIT +10% speed per piece Cone hat with a golden bell

Eight original Christmas and winter tracks replace the vanilla music: a warm main-menu theme and seven cosy songs for your worlds, with calmer music at night. The title screen even wishes you a Merry Christmas in your own language.
