Welcome to the 2020 Winter Festival!

Hogsmeade has outdone itself with holiday festivities for adults and students alike. The streets are lined with cozy booths offering warm drinks and snacks, cute decorations for the Christmas Tree, handmade gifts and all sorts of other imaginable items for purchase.

The Lake has frozen over and been turned into a giant skating rink for the enjoyment of the winter season.

Sleigh rides are being offered around the countryside near Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle. One in particular will take people up to Hogwarts Castle where a bonfire is roaring for warmth and an giant Igloo has been constructed. Those who are brave enough are invited to campout in the Igloo - this will be supervised by staff of Hogwarts.

A Holiday Feast will be hosted inside the igloo.

A giant snow hill has been ensured safe for those who want a more daring adventure like skiing and tobogganing. There is an enchanted lift to get you back to the top if you don't wish to climb.

Tree farmers have popped up selling Christmas Trees, feel free to take a wander and pick out yours today. Once you've picked it out, there will be a Christmas Tree Decorating contest you can participate in where you get to RP your characters decorating trees.

Cookie decorating will happen inside The Three Broomsticks.

There will be a mass thread for each event, members are encouraged to participate in those - ensure you are ensure to let people know in a note if your character is leaving a mass thread so people don't continuing talking to you.

You are also encouraged to create your own threads if you wish.

Have Fun!

All event threads will be put into the Current Special Events Board located: HERE and all threads in this board will count for determining the Yuletide King and Queen.
