THE SNOW GLOWS WHITE TONIGHT
Winter Wonderland is filled with lights, delights, and snowball fights! You’ll want to stop by one of the portal parks, follow the trail to the Winter Wonderland teleport, and prepare to be transported to a magical place.

Your journey begins in the Village of Lights - a whimsical icy village at the foot of all the other fun to be had in Winter Wonderland. In the heart of this sparkling village are giant gift boxes with some fun gifts for everyone! Once an hour, the village is blanketed in a spectacular fireworks show you don’t want to miss!

From the Village of Lights - there are many festivities to choose from depending on your mood - but we’re sure you’re going to want to stop by all of them - more than once - before the ice melts!

SNOWBALL ARENA
The snowball fight arena has been updated since last year - so you’ll need to plan your winning strategy once more before taking on your friends, strangers, and even a few Lindens atop a hill just outside the village lights. Choose your weapons from the nearby kiosks, or if you’re a Premium member, equip your Premium token for access to the ultimate snowball fight arsenal! That’s been upgraded since last year, too! You’re going to want to level up your weaponry for an upcoming inworld event that you’ll read about here - on the Featured News blog - very soon!

WINTER SNOW TRACK
Are you a dare devil? Grab a snowboard and snowmobile from nearby vendors and hit the ice! Premium members can access upgraded vehicles by equipping their token. Hop aboard and race around the four-region wide race track full of bumps, hills, jumps, and more!

ICE SKATE ARENA
Not quite ready to whoosh through the snow at breakneck speed? We’ve got you covered at the Ice Skate Arena. Grab a pair of skates from the free vendor, strap them on, and give them a spin! In the front vendors here, Premium members will find an extra prize full of customization options to fit your style and avatar.

FERRIS WHEEL
The ferris wheel will give you one of the best - and most romantic - views in the region. There’s nothing quite as breath-taking as looking out over all that glistening snow as fireworks go off overhead. We highly recommend you take yourself - or a date- at least once for a whirl on the ferris wheel.

FREE WINTER GIFTS THAT WILL LIFT YOUR SPIRITS
In addition to access to all the free fun mentioned above, Winder Wonderland is full of vendors with free gifts for everyone! While you're there - collect them all! 

EXCLUSIVE GIFTS for PREMIUM
In Winter Wonderland, Premium members get upgraded versions of many of the free gifts in the experience. Just remember to pick up the Winter Wonderland Badge at one of the Premium Kiosks, and equip it before heading to Winter Wonderland.
