To celebrate winter and the Holiday season, Blizzard has announced the Feast of Winter Veil 2007 for World of Warcraft. This year, players of the MMORPG can get preserved holly by completing special holiday quests which can be used on flying mounts, changing it into a flying reindeer that trails sparkles as it flies through the air. Players can also /kiss winter reveler NPCs to get a new item called “handful of snowflakes,” which, as the name implies, is indeed a handful of snowflakes.

As in past years, certain bosses will also be dressed in a festive fashion and will drop seasonal hats when defeated. The following bosses will be available starting December 25 and ending on January 2:

• Grand Warlock Netherkurse (Shattered Halls)
• Grandmaster Vorpil (Shadow Labyrinth)
• Exarch Maladaar (Auchenai Crypts)
• Captain Skarloc (Durnholde Keep)
• Nethermancer Sepethrea (Mechanar)
• High Botanists Freywinn (Botanica)

Finally, thesre will also be a new non-combat pet called “Mechanotoy”. More details about the event can be found on its official website.
