If it would be a standalone game then it would be possible. But well, making an update only for Christmas that introduces themed items that would be obtainable only for limited time would be unfair for some people unless:
1. The items would be inferior to any late-game items, meaning they wouldn't give resists and stats that are higher than ones from these that are on items dropped from HG, Garg, etc.
and/or
2. The items would still be available after Christmas ends.
Otherwise, I'm up for it. Making it snow everywhere, some festive decorations, maybe changing enemy models to more Christmas-themed - why not? But then, it probably won't happen, as it would take some work to introduce it and Zwieb has probably better things to do, like working on the new map. But then, it's only me, who knows...

It's possible: add christmass themed items -> add shop that sells them -> after event end remove shop but keep items in game.
Unfortunately it won't happen cause those items would take precious Bytes of map weight.

well only some hive hats... like santa's hat and winter hat its low file size.
(santa's is team collored so it have 12 collours) and maybe it drop from a special boss in the snow area... maybe a polar furbolg for a quest : "the polar furbolg stollen the santa's gifts, bring it back" you kill that and receive the hat!
and that can continue even after cristmas... its a snow area, something with that theme would be nice...
here the models:
here is santa's : https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/santa-hat-151805/?prev=search=santa&d=list&r=20
here is winter's : https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums...-winter-151807/?prev=search=santa&d=list&r=20
here is candy stick : https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/xmascandystick-153617/?prev=search=santa&d=list&r=20
the total filesize is something about 31.5 kb.
maybe the santa's hat would be for cloth, the 1° winter's for leather and the 2° winter for mail!
the candy could be a acessory!

Hehe, that's a fantastic idea.
Maybe I'll make a special christmas release with some funny bonus content that is only there for one version.

Could be just for christmas event can we merge just 2 items stats into one item but we have only one chance no more than 1 item merge. Example chest only can merge with only chest items , would be awesome imo

DLC
To a specific map in a game, while the mapmaker has no connection with the gamemakers of a game that actually is not worked on anymore.
What.

I couldn't find the time to work on this over the last two days. Too busy and exhausted after work. I'm on my holidays starting tomorrow, maybe I'll get something done before christmas, but no promises.

I'd really really rather you work on new content than some themed nonsense. OR just take a break and spend time with family, this christmas thing is completely unnecessary. The festive season is nearing its death anyway.

I was talking about content anyway.
And also I have enough of my family to endure over the holidays that I definitely don't need to spend even more time than already planned there. Except maybe for my niece.

I'm kinda stuck with something new I'm trying to implement... threw me back a bit. Also, holidays. Family duties and stuff.
