As we get further and further into winter time, the days are getting colder and the nights are getting longer. Honestly, it just looks like an excuse to wrap up warm, grab yourself a mug of hot chocolate, and indulge in a marathon session of Core Keeper. We hope youll be rejoicing with us today as we launch our Christmas Seasonal Event!

What is the Core Keeper Christmas Seasonal Event?

Alongside our content updates, weve also been bringing the Core Keeper community seasonal events since our Early Access launch. Our first-ever seasonal event was for Easter, which was followed by Halloween, and now were pleased to be bringing you something Christmas-themed! Weve added a whole host of Christmas content for you to enjoy, and you can expect parts of the underground to be covered in a layer of snow this year as things cool down, as well as lots of seasonal variants of some of your favourite enemies. From snowmen Slimes to Shroomen with Santa hats, the Christmas versions of these enemies might just be too adorable to battle!
It wouldnt be Christmas without Christmas trees, and youll be able to craft these and lots more festive furniture at the new Christmas workbench. If that doesnt leave you feeling like Father Christmas, then maybe the addition of Caveling Elves called Little Helperlings might. These friendly Cavelings have been infused with the spirit of Christmas, and they love nothing more than crafting presents. Youll also be able to enjoy new food, game mechanics, and cosmetic items throughout the event because who doesnt want to take part in a snowball fight while dressed as a gingerbread man, are we right? Oh, and weve even added fireworks to the game so that you can celebrate the New Year with a bang! Theres plenty for you to uncover, and we encourage you to jump right into the game and check all the new content out for yourselves.

How Long will the Core Keeper Christmas Seasonal Event Run for?

The Core Keeper Christmas Seasonal Event will run from December 13th 2022 all the way to January 5th 2023! That being said, all of our seasonal events run based on the time and date of the PC youre playing on. This means that, from the day that they are launched, players have the option to access seasonal events at any time by changing the time/date settings on their computers. After listening to your community feedback, we decided to implement this mechanic so that, if you have to miss a seasonal event for any reason (or if you want to go back and relive the magic) youll still be able to access that content at any point. Let us know what you think of our new seasonal event over on the Core Keeper Discord, which now has spaces for our Chinese, Japanese, and Korean-speaking Explorers! You can also follow us on Twitter here for lots of Christmas activity across December.
