Hi Penguins,

The Holiday Party has finally arrived on our snowy island and Rockhopper has safely docked his Migrator at the Beach, he's ready to celebrate the Holidays with everyone! This comprehensive blog post will cover almost everything you'll need to make the most of your time during this two week party. Let's get started on everything you'll need to know!

‍

Change For Coins

This year, we're proud to partner with Rainbow Railroad to provide aid in helping LGBTQI+ individuals find safe spaces as they face oppression simply due to who they love or who they are. They are based in the United States and Canada, but work incredibly hard to protect individuals across the globe. In a time where division can be quite high, LGBTQI+ people can be vulnerable from systemic homophobia and transphobia. In some cases, they are unable to escape these harmful conditions.

‍

Since their organization began, Rainbow Railroad has been able to help over 13,000 LGBTQI+ individuals gain access to lives filled with love and acceptance rather than hate and bigotry. These individuals are now free to choose their futures, and together we can increase this number.

‍

Want to make a difference? You can donate today by heading to any of the Change For Coins booths and following the on-screen instructions. Using PayPal or PayPal Guest Checkout, those who donate $1 or more will receive the following exclusive rewards: the Change For Coins 2024 Pin and the special Mountain Lodge Igloo. When making a donation, be sure to use your in-game username as your display name or leave it in the comment. If there is no username anywhere on the donation, we cannot distribute your rewards. The Mountain Lodge Igloo features a breathtaking Igloo Location. You’ll be able to take in both the forest and mountains underneath a clear night sky. This is the perfect Igloo for you if you love being cozy and surrounded by nature. This Igloo was done by one of our artist, Shovel. Take a look below!

Community Milestones

We've created Community Milestones as a way for everyone to be involved during the party. Each time someone donates, $1 will be converted into something we call Change Points. Change Points is our global currency that we use to calculate our milestones which turns into exclusive rewards and items.

‍
The final Community Milestone is 2,500 Change Points. Lastly, at the end of the party, we will convert the money raised throughout the campaign into Coins and distribute them to every player who logged in to the game during the party. We will be converting every dollar to 25 coins.

‍

Here is a full list of Community Milestone Rewards in order of lowest Change Points needed to highest:

‍

• Bronze Bell
• Ice Skater Puffle
• Winter Sleigh
• Gold Railroad Bundle
  • Gold Railroad Corner
  • Gold Railroad Crossing
  • Gold Railroad Intersection
  • Gold Railroad Piece
• Snowstorm Suit
• Snow Launcher

‍

How To Donate

We're honored to continue the tradition that the original game fostered, create meaningful change and pave a way for future generations. Last year, we were able to raise $2,603 USD to support the cause of Direct Relief, we hope to reach similar numbers this year or perhaps even surpass it! You can donate today by heading to any of the Change For Coins booths. We thank you for your support on behalf of Rainbow Railroad and can't wait to see all the awesome progress over the next couple weeks.
‍

Remember that we do not process transactions and donations and the Club Penguin Legacy Team will never ask for any monetary payment or donations on behalf of Rainbow Railroad. All donations must be processed through the Rainbow Railroad platform through the link that is available in-game. It must be done through PayPal or PayPal Guest Checkout and your username must be included in either the donation name or comment to receive credit for your donation.

Charity Concerts

Cadence and the Penguin Band have returned again to celebrate the Holidays and raise awareness for our ongoing charity campaign! The concerts will occur everyday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM Penguin Standard Time, so be sure to head on over to the Iceberg when the time comes. Come on down and celebrate the festivities with us.Each performance that you attend will reward you 2,000 Coins! Make sure you don't miss out on these shows, especially if you're low on Coins!

‍

Train Station & Train Line

These spots right here are the main attractions of this year’s Holiday Party! Located at the Snow Forts, you’ll wander inside the Train Station. Here, you can equip yourself with four different trains: The Holiday Express, The Puffle Premier, The Rainbow Zephyr, and The Sweet-tooth Special! Once equipped with one of these trains, you’ll be able to ride the Train Line!

‍

On the Train Line, you’ll be able to earn coins! As you embark on your train ride, you’ll notice different balloons hoisting various different holiday items. By throwing snowballs at these items, you’ll be able to earn coins. The smaller the target you hit, the more coins you earn! It can be anywhere between 5 to 15 coins per target.

‍

Here’s the super fun part! If you are able to hit enough objects on your train ride, you’ll be able to earn one of 13 plush prizes! Several of them are returning stuffies that have not been available since 2022, while a few of them are brand new! There are even two that are fully custom as well! Keep riding the Train Line and hitting enough objects to earn them all!

‍

In order to ensure as many players can ride the Train Line as possible, there are two different lines. Here is the example schedule in Penguin Standard Time:

‍

Train A (right entrance)

Departs:

12:00 PST

12:05 PST

12:10 PST

‍

Train B (left entrance) 

Departs:

‍

Santa's Sleigh

Santa's Sleigh is back! Only this time, it’s a little bit different. Last year, players went on Santa’s Sleigh to earn all sorts of different items. This year, by delivering 20 presents, you’ll be able to earn a brand new custom prize! In addition to this, you’ll be able to earn a small sum of coins!

‍

Bakery

The Bakery has returned as well, but this year there’s a slight change in scenery. For the previous Holiday Party, the Bakery was found in the Snow Forts, but it has now been relocated to the Lounge. On the inside, it works just like last year! You’ll have to work together with penguins to provide the correct ingredients needed to make delicious cookies. Fill up the Cookie Meter and you can earn one of these three prizes: the Frost Bite, Race Car, and Reindeer Puffle Pins!

‍

30 Days of Gifts

Just a reminder that our 30 Days of Gifts is still running during the Holiday Party at the Forest! Everyday, you'll be able to treat yourself with a new present, ranging from clothing items to furniture, Igloos, Pins, and more! Don't miss out on any gifts by checking the Forest daily for new items! To see the gifts for Days 16-30, be sure to click the right arrow on the Calendar!

‍

Ask Santa

Ask Santa is here! For those who are unfamiliar with it, this is a program that we like to run near the Holidays to allow players the chance to obtain rewards and items that they may have missed out on. The Ask Santa Program allows you to ask for clothing, furniture, or Coins from a select list during a wave.

‍

To participate in a wave of Ask Santa, just simply check the Ask Santa interface which is located in your user interface in the top right corner.

‍

This interface will give you a countdown on when the next Ask Santa will be happening and how to fill out your Ask Santa Request. On the day of Ask Santa, you'll be able to access the form which will provide you with all the Rules and Basic Requirements to participate in the program, be sure to read everything carefully. You'll only have about an hour to submit your item.

‍

Here are the following dates and times in Penguin Standard Time:

‍

Friday, December 27 @ 3:00 PM PST

Monday, December 30 @ 9:00 AM PST

Thursday, January 2 @ 9:00 PM PST

‍

Remember, if you need help converting times, head on over to the Clock Tower at the Snow Forts!
