TBT's Season of Giving 2022 Gifts Revealed and Other Announcements!

[Jeremy]

Merry Christmas, everyone! With TBT's Season of Giving 2022 coming to a close, it's finally time to reveal what's inside of our five wrapped collectible presents. You all did a great job gifting them to each other over the last two weeks! Your gifting also resulted in a lot of money pledged to charity, which we'll also go over with some additional announcements.

Without further ado, let's reveal our five holiday gifts from TBT's Season of Giving 2022!

➡

Hot Cocoa

➡

Silent Night Bauble

➡

Red Holiday Candle

➡

Toy Duck Plush

➡

Gingerbread Man​

These were assigned in the last few hours, so even the staff didn't know what they would turn into ahead of time. We hope this festive assortment of varying collectibles has something for everyone! Thanks to Mistreil for designing the Hot Cocoa, Silent Night Bauble, and Red Holiday Candle. Thanks to Mick for designing the Toy Duck Plush and Gingerbread Man.

As you may have seen, this year's candy cane was revealed in the Advent Calendar! Thanks to Laudine for designing it.

Holiday Candy Cane 2022​

Also, today's 12 Days of Collectibles raffle included a special surprise! As Oblivia announced a few days ago, those who purchased the December 25th raffle ticket received a new Oblivia's Ugly Christmas Egg in their inventory. Thanks to Oblivia for designing it. She has yet to announce whether it will be displayed seasonally or permanently!

Spend Your Leftover Snowflakes​

If you have leftover snowflakes, you can now spend them on the Red Christmas Stocking, Green Christmas Stocking, or Festive Bell, which were all released during previous Christmas events. They cost 15 snowflakes each. If you're looking for something a little more rare, we also have a raffle that will reward three Yule Logs, six Christmas Gold Candies, and nine Lumps of Coal. Feel free to buy as many raffle tickets as you want in order to increase your chances. You may only win once.

Stockings and Bell: 15 snowflakes each

Raffle Ticket: 1 snowflake per ticket

Nominate Your Favorite Entrees!​

We still need to pick our community favorite winners who will each receive a Special Snowflake collectible! The first part of this process simply requires you to react to your favorite entries with a "like" or "love" reaction. The top 16 entries with the most reactions will then be placed in a community poll where users can vote for their favorite 4. The top 8 entries will win the Special Snowflake. There's still some time left to react to your favorite entries in these five events:
Christmas Countdown
Holiday Snowscape
Chipper Confections
Tiny Toy Jamboree
Lyrical Limericks

You will have until Monday at 7:00 PM EST to react to your favorites and then we'll set up polls for the second part of this process.

Coming Soon​

Start preparing yourself or your team for the upcoming quiz in our final event: The Lost Bar! The event's closing thread with our raffle winners and community favorites will be posted on New Year's Eve. In the meantime, be on the lookout for our community favorite polls coming soon. Happy holidays!
