'World of Warcraft' Christmas update

One of the longest-running massive multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs), "World of Warcraft" (WoW), has had many real-life events affecting both the atmosphere and gameplay. With the holiday season starting, fans of the franchise will be glad to note that "WoW"'s Christmas update is already here.
                                           

The biggest highlight of the patch is the "Feast of Winter Veil," which is basically their own reason for all the Christmas decorations that can be seen almost everywhere in the game. The whole of Azeroth will be turned into the snowy environment that might be familiar to players who have seen past iterations of the game's Christmas celebrations.

The event is set to last from Dec. 16 until Jan. 3 of next year, and there will be giant snowballs that players can see in Ironforge, Ogrimmar, and Dalaran. To also celebrate the coming of the new year, there will be in-game fireworks for everyone, meaning in every race in each of their capitals. Since "WoW" has players from all over the globe, the fireworks will happen every hour for the whole night.

Of course, as with most of the previous Christmas updates the game has had, the Abominable Greench will be coming back. For those who are not familiar with it, players will get to earn rewards from him as long as you get to defeat him, which is not much of a hard task.

A new loot, the "Finely-Tailored Red Holiday Hat" can also be obtained through Legion dungeons and raids. There are also a lot of other side quests that players can take part in. Players can rescue a stolen reindeer and even bake gingerbread cookies.

For this event, there are a total of 11 achievements. When all of them are achieved, players gain a new title "Merrymaker. How's that for decking the halls?"
