The Christmas event introduces the Winter Map, the ground turns into snow instead of grass, snow-covered trees, and more. Temporarily, the map will not rain, instead, it will snow. With the map, there will be exclusive locations for the season. Starting in v0.7.1, Bloxburg introduced an Ice Skating Rink, and the following year introduced the Sleighing Hut. Both of these locations are removed once the Winter map is removed.
