Frostfell is EQ's Christmas / Hanukkah / Kwanzaa / Winter Solstice event.
Naturally, Norrath doesn't have Christmas, etc., so they have Frostfell. (Although they could have just called it Winter Solstice, making up a special name is a common fantasy answer.)
Frostfell heralds the return of Santug Claugg, an ogre in red who hands out toys to deserving boys and girls. He also, along with his helpers, offers a number of quests which are only available during Frostfell.
For 2014, Frostfell began Wednesday, December 3, 2014, and will run until 11:00PM PST on Wednesday, January 7, 2015. It consists of several phases.
In addition, New Year's events will run from Friday, December 26, 2014 until Wednesday, January 21, 2015.

2011
- SOE 2011 Frostfell forum thread (link broken)
| “ | It’s that time of year again, when Santug Claugg gets ready to give presents to the deserving, and sometimes less than deserving, adventurers of Norrath. Starting December 8, 2011 and running through January 8, 2012, Frostfell will be upon us!
All your old favorite quests will be returning this year, whether it be aiding the Frostfell Goblins in saving Santug or commencing Operation: Jolliness to keep Santug in good spirits. There are also a number of New Year’s Adventurers available, so don’t forget Pizimp Nobbletod. As an added bonus, starting on December 14, 2011, a brand new Frostfell quest will be released! Santug Claugg has become obsessed with the Braxi and wants them to pull his sleigh. Unfortunately there has been an incident with the ship transporting the Braxi to Santug and as a result, Braxi and Gigglegibber Goblins are scattered on beaches throughout Norrath. Make sure to seek them out! |

The new quest for 2011 is Braxi Roundup. There are two versions, one for lower levels (level 50) and one for higher levels (level 95).
