The Festival of the Blizzard is a limited time in-game event that began on 10th December, 2021, and will run until 3rd January, 2022. It is the third seasonal festival to occur in 2021, following the Festival of the Bonfire and the Festival of the Spirits.
During the event, players are able to obtain exclusive cosmetic items and Pets from Blizzard Crates, similarly to the rewards from regular Loot Crates. Three free Blizzard Crates are available to all players from the start of the event, and can be claimed in the Wynncraft Store. Further crates can be obtained in-game by completing Daily Objectives (Tier I crates), and Weekly Objectives for players in a level 10+ Guild (Tier II). A maximum of 27 free Blizzard Crates can be obtained by completing objectives, while additional crates will be available to buy from the Wynncraft Store until the end of the event.
In addition to the rewards from Blizzard Crates, a winter storm has passed over Detlas, redecorating it for the holiday season. The Traveler and Gerald the Yeti can be found by the large Craftmas tree in the center of the city, and the Souvenir Sweater Merchant, Rusty Bartender, and a Craftmas Cracker Vendor have also set up shop; other NPCs from around Wynn Province can also be invited to join in the festivities throughout the event. Finally, the Festival coincides with the 2021 Wynnter Fair, which can be reached by taking the Event Airship Pilot's ship at Detlas Airbase.
Festival Invitations
Throughout the Festival, players can invite NPCs from throughout Wynncraft to Detlas to join the festivities. New invitees will be unlocked every few days, and The Traveler gives hints on where to find possible invitees. Before each NPC will agree to come to the city, a short mini-quest must be completed for them. You must also have completed the NPC's respective quest before you can begin their invitation. After arriving, the new NPCs provide new dialogue and extra content.
Starting on 25th December, Christmas Day, players will be able to talk to the NPCs they've invited again for additional rewards. Each NPC will give the player their own unique reward. There will be 20 NPCs in total to invite throughout the entire event.

Blizzard Crates
Blizzard Crates are a new type of crate obtained by doing objectives during the Festival of the Blizzard. There are four ways to obtain them:
- All players can redeem 3 Blizzard Crates for free at the Wynncraft Store.
- The first Daily Objective completed each day rewards one Tier I Blizzard Crate (up to 23 total).
- Completing a Guild Objective rewards a Tier II Blizzard Crate (up to 4 total).
- Various amounts of Blizzard Crates can also be bought from the store.
Opening Blizzard Crates gives the player cosmetics exclusive to the Festival. These rewards cannot be obtained from regular Crates. You can only scrap Festival of the Blizzard cosmetics with each other Blizzard cosmetics, and the cosmetic that they become will also be a Festival of the Blizzard cosmetic.
