World of Warcraft's Feast of Winter Veil: A Lore-Filled Holiday Celebration

The annual World of Warcraft Feast of Winter Veil, a festive event mirroring Christmas, returns with fresh rewards and collectibles. A new lore video, a collaboration with PlatinumWoW, delves into the rich history of this beloved in-game holiday.

This engaging video explores the holiday's origins, weaving together Dwarven myths of Greatfather Winter (a Titan-forged giant), Tauren traditions of spiritual renewal, and the modern-day commercialization by the Goblin-run Smokeywood Pastures.

The video also highlights the infamous Metzen the Reindeer, named after Chris Metzen, and its hilarious history of repeated kidnappings – by pirates, Dark Iron Dwarves, and even the Grinch! The video concludes with a humorous thank you from Metzen, voiced in Thrall's iconic voice (also voiced by Metzen).

A Continuing Collaboration

This isn't PlatinumWoW's first collaboration with Blizzard. Previous videos have covered diverse topics, including Nerubians, Vrykul, the Scourge, World Trees, and Blackrock Depths. Blizzard's recent collaborations with various content creators, such as Taliesin & Evitel and Hurricane, showcase a commitment to enriching the World of Warcraft experience.

Feast of Winter Veil 2024 Highlights

Players can still participate in the Feast of Winter Veil until January 5th, 2024. This year's highlights include a tamable Dreaming Festive Reindeer for Hunters, new holiday transmogs, and the Grunch pet. Don't forget to check for a special gift under the tree in Orgrimmar or Stormwind!
