All I know is the rarest card is the Stone Henge. The Diamond card prize is a Greyfell

What has changed since the last time?

There is a tutorial

The step where you have to select which horses go to get the tree is removed, for simplification.

The tree selection page has been adjusted for an interface that’s easier to understand (you can see directly which gift is linked to which tree for example)

All versions that have fully decorated the community tree will itrigger tree decoration UFOs (not just the winning version).

There is always a chance to get a partially decorated tree. We added a pop-up to make it less discrete.

At the end of each trip (except those of the divine trees), there is a chance that the horses participating in the journey will find a divine tree on their way. We've changed this so that the divine tree is in addition to the tree you return with.

The probabilities for decorations have been adjusted to be more balanced compared to last year

During certain periods of the competition, there will be decoration packs (instead of decorations in the Horns of plenty) that will contain 10 decoration items for 1 pass. There is randomness, but the probability has been adjusted a lot since last year

At the end of the contest, a random draw is made among the players who have obtained at least 2 golden horseshoes during the contest to offer the divine horse Cernunnos to

Yes, Winter was switched out for the Wild horse, and you need to fully decorate 5 trees in order to unlock the divine forest.

A Drum horse is gotten by completing the tree you decorate in the tutorial. It appears we can also send for more Drum horse trees and get more as well. Not sure if that will apply to the live server, but we'll see. Otherwise, I think everything else is the same from the first prize images that were posted

Changes from previous version

Promo instructions

Yes, you don't need to choose a team of horses this time. You just click the forest you want that has the tree prize you want, then click an arrow to scroll through the trees in that forest. The board to the right tells you what decorations are required and a nifty check mark appears if you have the decorations needed for that tree! So no guessing or anything.

These are the prices you can pay if you want to get your tree right away. The price decreases as time goes on, so if you want to wait several hours for the price to drop a bit, then you can. For the divine forest I waited about 2 hours, then checked again and the price decreased by 1 pass and 1 diamonds.
1st forest(closest): 2 passes or 10 diamonds
2nd forest: 3 passes or 21 diamonds
3rd forest: 4 passes or 31 diamonds
Divine forest: 6 passes or 51 diamonds.

Info for the Advent Calendar.

here are the prizes for the snowball fight

While I can see that the offers for the packs are available, I can't check the prices or further details of the pack beyond a mythological divine and x passes available, so for those that were wondering about the price in different currency I can't supply that unfortunately, unless I'm overlooking it.

Aww, doesn't my Jupiter's winter themed backdrop look so cool. Look at the little bunny! This is the first time in awhile Howrse has changed the background to go with an event theme I think.

I was happy to see that my horses got background to go with an event. In my opinion snowy background looks great

It took me about 130 passes to realize we cant get Equestrian statue with spending passes. I noticed it when I read description of Hanging ornaments I felt so dumb..

Next promos will be Advent Calendar and Tree Decorating promos. There will also be a Snowball Fight.

You can open one window each day (the number that matches the date). If you miss any you can pay equus to open them but the price doubles each time.

There have been a few changes to the Tree Decorating promo this year, most importantly that you can remove decorations from trees as long as that tree has not been fully decorated yet.
You have to return and decorate 5 trees to open the Divine forest.
You can pay passes or diamonds to get your trees back immediately.

Nearby Copse is 2 passes or 12 diamonds
Faraway Forest is 3 passes or 21 diamonds
Enchanted Grove is 4 passes or 31 diamonds

Here are the gifts available from each tree:

equestrian statuette for? is it a decoration or a new bm item?

It's a decoration. You have to decorate the equestrian statuette tree in order to get it and use it on other trees. Like how we had to use ingredients to make red and purple potions in the Potions promo and then use the red and purple potions to make other stuff

Someone asked over on Preprod about what the Holiday Pass Packs contain. While I can't say for sure - based on the banners I've seen, I suspect they'll contain much the same as the ones from last year.

If you are curious - last year's pack contents were:

*A + next to an item confirms it is in the pack this year based on banner description

Itsy-Bitsy/Teeny Pack

20 passes+
100 x Aging Points
500, 000 Equus
Falabella Divine+ (Your choice of color)


Lucky Day Pack

2 months VIP account
10 x Titan's Challenge+
1 x Treasure Chest+ (containing the Divine Epona it seems based on banner image)
10 passes

Olympus Pack

80 passes+
1,000,000 equus
200 x Aging point
Greyfell+ (seems a greyfell may be offered as it shows in the banner image)
A mythological divine of your choice+
Sleipnir
Croesus
Xanthos
Balios
Greyfell
Gullfaxi
Hrímfaxi
Skínfaxi

Svadilfari

The Ultimate Pack *which contains the contents of all three of the above packs* is also returning

Teeny Pack = $35
Lucky Day Pack = $60
Olympus Pack = $100
Ultimate Pack = $125

Again, these prices are from 2014!! The price of the packs went up last year (want to say each one increased by $10 USD or so but I could be wrong!) Please do NOT assume that the prices will be the same this year or that my guestimate about last year's price increase is correct! Take these numbers with a grain of salt and use them as nothing more but an Idea of how much they may cost!

Some informations about new pass system which we already have on CZ version.. Before this new system I haven't any problem to get daily 10 points and I didn't do anything special. But now I just can't get more than 9 points a day even if I do much more actions and spent much more time playing howrse. And it's not only my case lot of players on our version are complaining about it and we're really angry.. It's clear that the conditions for earn point has changed. It's impossible to get pass every three days (as they promised), possible is to get pass every four days. So instead of 31 passes in the past we're able to get only 7 passes a month now.

In IT version it's the same
