Winterfest '26 - The Claws of Claus. ❄

Sandy Claws. Get it? From Nightmare Before Christmas? Ah, nevermind.

The Claws of Claus - A Forums Suggestion. :snowflake:

A Frozen-Themed Post - Edited by ImNotBritish107.


It’s Winterfest, people! :snowman_without_snow:

This year, Christmas isn’t coming quietly… The Yetis have stormed Santa’s workshop, toppled his sleigh, and claimed the North Pole for themselves! Presents are scattered, elves are on the run, and the Hive is buried under a blizzard of chaos.

Now it’s up to you to fight back through snow-covered battlefields, recover the stolen gifts, and melt the Yetis’ icy grip before Christmas is lost forever. Gear up, stay frosty, and show those snow beasts that the spirit of Winterfest can’t be frozen!


The Hub Hunt. :magnifying_glass_tilted_right:

Locate the lost elves around the Hive! There are around 15 lost, so make sure you check every nook and cranny. Of course, the NPC will be a festive-themed one, preferably a big snowman.

Only the bravest of believers can save the elves, and we need all the help we can get. in return, you’ll get a special reward… the Cubee Elf costume.


Holly & Havoc Ticket. :tickets:

The Yeti takeover has caused major destruction, even in the game modes themselves! This calls for the Holly & Havoc Ticket! Can you take on the havoc of the holiday season?

If you can, you’ll need all the luck you can get. Purchasable with 1870 Minecoins, this ticket features mechanics similar to the Containment Breach Ticket, but in different games, such as Block Drop and other popular titles.

:information_source: Do you think you have what it takes to take on the havoc? You can find more information about the Holly & Havoc ticket by 𝔰υ๒𝓶ᎥŤιηق 𝐭Ⓞ ⓣ𝒽ᗴ ѕ𝐤𝓊Lк.


A Winter LTM: Coldfront Conflict! :hourglass_not_done:

In Coldfront Conflict, you’ll battle a series of Yetis with your team! Last team standing loses!

Each team has four players. A wave of Yetis will spawn around your arena, letting your fight-or-flight senses tingle to the max! Make sure you choose with sense quickly, since death leads to defeat. Each round gets harder and harder, until one team emerges victorious.


And… :smiley:

All Winterfest maps are back! Make sure to check them out!


Final Thoughts. :speech_balloon:

WINTER TIME! Anyways, that all I have for you. See ya later!

I love this idea! We could really use a good Winterfest event. Hive-O-Ween is so much better right now and Christmas deserves an event that is equal if now better than Halloween.

Bump, this winterfest was just a reused version of last year’s. Imo that’s really lazy and disappointing. Plus there in the same spots. No ltm, barely a new hunt, this was terrible.

Winterfest needs to be the big event, not a side thought.

Thank you totally not Yoshi for the text.

The puzzles are just reskins, I genuinely thought it was a mistake at first. It’s lazy and stupid, CHRISTMAS IS BETTER THE HALLOWEEN, WHY IS HALLOWEEN PRIORITIZED?

I mean, I guess because Christmas isn’t celebrated as much as Halloween (there are celebrations such as Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and more, while Halloween doesn’t have that many other holidays to compete with).

I love this idea personally (Idk why @NotYoshi2 s mad) but good idea!

The thing is, the event isn’t even fully Christmas. It’s supposed to be mainly winter. There isn’t any reason for it not to be big, except for Hive working on bigger projects, which they are.

Edit: After playing the event, the amount of stuff (specifically in the gift pass) is enough to make it a decent upgrade from previous years.

But they shouldnt go so big in Halloween then do nothing for Winterfest.

I agree. Christmas is a much larger holiday (in my mind at least, but I may be a little biased.), so it deserves some more thought put into it. I understand doing completely new and original ideas every year is asking a bit too much, but they really could have done more for the hunt. Not to mention those puzzles are quite difficult…
