Based on my research across official sources and community reports, here’s everything you can expect from this massive update:
Main Festival Activities
The Winter Festival introduces three primary activities where you can earn the limited-time Snowflakes currency:
āļø Ice Skating
Ice skating is one of the centerpiece activities of the Winter Festival. Players can lace up their virtual skates and glide across frozen surfaces in specially designed ice skating rinks located in the festival area. The best part? You earn more Snowflakes the longer you skate! This makes it perfect for both casual skating sessions and dedicated farming.
Key features of ice skating:
- Smooth skating mechanics with realistic physics
- Progressive Snowflake earnings – the more you skate, the more you earn
- Social skating areas perfect for roleplay with friends
- Special skating animations and winter-themed effects
š· Sledding
Experience the thrill of sledding down snowy hills! The update includes dedicated sledding areas where you can hop on a sled and race down slopes. Each time you complete a sled run, you earn Snowflakes, making this both fun and rewarding.

- Multiple sledding hills with different difficulty levels
- Instant Snowflake rewards per completed run
- Sled customization options for VIP players

Pro Strategies for Maximizing Snowflakes
As someone who’s mastered multiple Brookhaven events, I’ve developed some killer strategies for maximizing your Snowflake earnings during the Winter Festival. Here are my top tips:
Beginner Strategies (First 3 Days)
- Focus on Free Collection First – Before diving into activities, explore the entire festival area to collect all the free Snowflakes scattered around. This gives you a nice starting boost.
- Master the Christmas Tree Obby – While challenging, the obby offers the best Snowflake-to-time ratio. Spend your first few practice runs learning the obstacles, then farm it efficiently.
- Combine Ice Skating with Socializing – Since ice skating rewards you for time spent, use this activity to socialize with friends or join community events while passively earning Snowflakes.
Intermediate Strategies (Days 4-10)
- Create a Snowflake Farming Routine – Develop a daily routine that maximizes efficiency:
- Start with 3 obby completions (highest payout)
- Follow with 10 sled runs (quick, consistent earnings)
- End with 30 minutes of ice skating (passive/social earnings)
- Join VIP Groups for 2X Benefits – If you’re serious about collecting all rewards, consider purchasing the VIP Gamepass. The 2X Snowflake multiplier dramatically reduces farming time.
- Participate in Community Events – Join organized events where players gather for massive snowball fights or skating parties. These often have bonus Snowflake drops and are more fun than solo farming.
Advanced Strategies (Days 11-14)
- Focus on High-Value Targets – As the festival winds down, prioritize the most expensive rewards you still need. The Snowy Bungalow House at 10,000 Snowflakes should be your main target if you haven’t unlocked it yet.
- Help New Players – By assisting newcomers with the obby or showing them efficient farming routes, you build community connections while still earning Snowflakes yourself.
- Document Everything – Take screenshots and videos of the festival decorations and activities. Once the event ends, these memories become valuable community content and personal mementos.
