Wintersday comes to Guild Wars 2, a trailer and a poem from ArenaNet to you
Giant floating golem full of asura and presents? Yes, please
ArenaNet teased us a little bit with some random screenshots showing off Wintersday in Guild Wars 2, but it's not the same as seeing the holiday in motion. Today they gave in and posted a full Wintersday trailer, narrated by what must be an asuran reciting a holiday poem. It probably doesn't help that asurans are quite a bit terrifying and adding in a giant hovering golem-ship full of presents doesn't help at all. I am as excited as I am fearful for Winstersday this year in Guild Wars 2.
The new trailer shows off a ton of exciting new content for the holiday, including new (and likely premium) winter coat costumes, a new Lion's Arch snow globe statue where the Mad King had erupted out of the ground, and what looks like an epic jumping puzzle. Seriously, I think I saw a billion little platforms with two giant snowmen looming in the distance. Hopefully the Clock Tower from the Halloween event was just a sampling of what ArenaNet can do with jumping puzzles.
Wintersday begins on December 14 and runs through January 3. Look for the giant floating golem-ship and quaggans throwing snowballs soon! Guild Wars 2 delivering another epic content update, no subscription needed.

Looks really nice , guess we get to visit the toy lab(land?) this Christmas.
By the looks of it, starting on day 1 (14th) there is:
- The jump puzzle from the video
- Snowball fight PvP
- "Bell Choir", something about music and rhythm.
Toymaker hits the following cities on the following days:Dec 15 - Grove
16 - Divinity
17 - Black Citadel
18 - Hoelbrak
19 - Rata Sum
20 - LA (this lasts until the 3rd of January)
While the toymaker is in LA, there looks to be some challenge...event...thing, where the toys in the workshop are trying to destroy a giant machine within the workshop, and players are tasked with defending it. Dungeon, event, dunno. Anet describes it as events, so it could be more than one thing.
