The Festival of the Blizzard is an annual, limited-time seasonal event that coincides with the winter holiday season. It is the third seasonal festival in Wynncraft's cycle of festivals, preceded by the Festivals of the Bonfire and Spirits, and followed by the Festival of the Heroes.
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 through the Wynncraft Store. Additional crates can be obtained in-game; the first Daily Objective completed each day rewards a Tier I crate, while completing Weekly Objectives, available to players in a level 10+ Guild, rewards a Tier II crate. Up to 30 Blizzard Crates can be obtained for free, while additional crates are available to buy from the Wynncraft Store until the end of the event.
In addition to Blizzard Crates, a winter storm passes over Detlas, redecorating it for the holiday season as Snowy Detlas. The Traveler and Gerald the Yeti are found near the large Craftmas tree in the center of the city, and the Souvenir Sweater Merchant, Rusty Bartender, a Wynnter Owl, a Craftmas Cracker Vendor, and the Confectionary Merchant also set up shop.
The main activities available during the festival include: inviting other NPCs from around Wynn Province to join in the festivities in Detlas, the Wynnter Fair, which has a variety of minigames and rewards, and the Blizzard Brawl minigame, which is reached by taking the Event Airship Pilot's ship at Detlas Airbase.
