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 2023, Frostfell quests began Sunday, December 3 at 12 a.m. PST and ended Sunday, January 7, 2024 at 11:00 p.m. PST. No new quests for 2023.

In addition, New Year's events will run from Tuesday, December 26, 2023 until Sunday, January 21, 2024 at 11:00 p.m. PST.
