Winter's Feast

Winter's Feast is a Christmas-themed event in Don't Starve Together, specifically in A New Reign. During this time, Christmas-themed Skins, items and features will be available, such as Winter Foods, craftable Gifts and Gift Wraps, Festive Tree Planters, Winter's Feast Trees and a variety of Winter Ornaments.

Winter Foods are exclusive Food items for the event. They are dropped randomly by Mobs and do not perish over time. Much like Halloween Candies, they restore up to 2 Health, 2 Sanity and 3 Hunger, with exception of the Eternal Fruitcake, which will be rejected by any character upon attempting to eat it. All Winter Foods stack up to 40. Gingerbread Cookies, Sugar Cookies and Candy Canes can also be used to decorate Winter's Feast Trees. The following candies are available, their spawn codes are "winter_food1...9":

Gifts work exactly like Bundled Supplies, containing up to 4 stacks of items. They can be created by players using Gift Wraps and vary in sizes and colors. Unlike Bundling Wraps, Gifts do not return the Gift Wrap's crafting materials when opened. Also, upon successfully opening a Loot Stash, 6 Gifts will drop containing items like Electric Milk, Gold Nuggets, Charcoal, Winter Food, and Boss loot, except for the Guardian's Horn.

Gift Wrap
Gift Wraps work exactly like Bundling Wraps, except their crafting recipe is much cheaper and it gives 4 Gift Wraps per craft. Gift Wraps are found in the Survival Tab and crafted from 1 Papyrus and 1 Petals. They do not require prototyping. Perishable items stop spoiling when wrapped into a Gift Wrap. Some items are not allowed to be put in a Gift Wrap, for example Chester's Eye Bone, Star-Sky or the Stag Antler.

Winter's Feast Trees can be grown by planting a Pine Cone, a Birchnut or a Twiggy Tree Cone in a Festive Tree Planter. Like regular Evergreens, Birchnut Trees and Twiggy Trees, they take four stages to grow, however, once they are fully grown, they will stop their life cycle.

When fully grown, the trees can be decorated with Winter Ornaments and Winter Food. To do this, players have to access the tree's inventory. Like Backpacks, Winter's Feast Trees have eight item slots, allowing for eight different ornaments to be placed on them. Each slot corresponds to a specific spot on the tree. The trees can also serve as light sources, if they are decorated with Festive Lights.

Winter's Feast Trees can be chopped with an Axe, dropping the same resources a tree of the same type and of equal size drops, as well as any Ornaments placed on them. The Festive Tree Planter will also be destroyed and drop its crafting materials.

If a player sleeps, with no light, or with between 1 and 5 festive lights (to allow for short periods of darkness), by a Winter's Feast Tree, a Gift will appear under the tree. It usually contains a Gem, a Trinket, and a Winter Food. This feature has a cool down of four days, or the player will get Charcoal from the Gift instead.

Like regular trees, Winter's Feast Trees are able to provide protection from Rain and Overheating for the players.

Festive Tree Planter
The Festive Tree Planter is a craftable Structure located in the Structures Tab and requires 2 Manure and 1 Board to craft. It is always available to craft and does not require prototyping.

Festive Tree Planters can be Hammered like other craftable Structures, as long as they are empty or the planted Winter's Feast Tree is still a sapling. Destroying a Festive Tree Planter will return 1 Boards and 1 Manure, as well as a Pine Cone, Birchnut or Twiggy Tree Cone, if a sapling was growing in the planter.

Festive Baubles
Festive Baubles are decorative items meant to be placed on a Winter's Feast Tree. They are found in at least one of the gifts dropped by the Loot Stash and stack up to 40. Their spawn codes are "winter_ornament_plain1...8" and "winter_ornament_fancy1...4".

Magnificent Adornments
Magnificent Adornments are Boss Monsters related Winter Ornaments. They stack up to 40. Their spawn codes are "winter_ornament_boss_... " with the adjuncts "bearger", "deerclops", "moose", "dragonfly", "beequeen" and "toadstool":

Festive Lights
Festive Lights have an additional light radius in four different colors. They will twinkle constantly if used to decorate a tree or dropped on the ground, but will also have a limited duration and do not stack. Similar to Light Bulbs, they can also be used to refuel light sources such as Miner Hats, Hutch or Mushroom Lights, however they will not cause them to twinkle as well. Festive Lights are able to tint the Glowcap's light color. Their spawn codes are "winter_ornament_light1...4":
