The hallmark of Christmas for WoW players is probably running around as the tinkerers of Azeroth.

As Shadowlands just launched we doubt the focus to be too much on the event this year!

WoW Feast Of Winter Veil 2020
The Feast of Winter Veil is World of Warcraft's take on a Christmas event.
During this time Orgrimmar and Ironforge will be decked out in seasonal decorations.

Right now there isn't a lot of information on this year's event but we've listed previous features below to give you an idea of what's to come in the meantime.
Release Date
No release date has been confirmed yet.
As well as that there isn't a recurring start or end date to go by.
