⚠️ Please note!
Your character must be level 30 or above to take part in the Winter Festival event. Talk to Fred Hatter at your Ranch to start the festive questline and get access to event locations!

Get Firecrackers and relish the rewards!

Uncle Bill's rival, Corny Rampus, kidnapped him and stole Firecrackers for the Winter Festival show. Recover these Firecrackers from Rampus minions and return them for a dazzling fireworks display.

To move forward in the event progression, you need to blast Firecrackers from the Launcher. Just storing them somewhere won’t do!
