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 2020, Frostfell quests began Thursday, December 3 at 12 a.m. PST and ended Friday, January 8, 2021 at 11:00 p.m. PST.
In addition, New Year's events ran from Friday, December 26, 2020 until Thursday, January 21, 2020 at 11:00 p.m. PST.
