Yule Festival will run from December 18 through January 14.

Lord of the Rings Online's Yule Festival quests and activities have returned to the town of Winter-home. If you complete the festival deeds, you'll earn a reward. The rewards include an exclusive Travel Mount & War-Steed Appearance and new cosmetics. Read more about it after the jump!

Several events will be available:

• Theatre event: The seasonal show is played at the local playhouse. Make sure to let the artists know what you thought of their performance.
• Snowball fight: Challenge your friends in the Snowball Arena and repeat this snowy onslaught with Mithril Coins for more fun!
• Eating Contest: Enter the Winter-home eating contest to get your fill of pies, eggs and mushrooms
• Festival Square: Check the local vendor or meet up with your fellows to raise a mug at the festival marketplace
• Aid the Other: If you helped the rich last year, you can make up for it this year. This quest can now be completed to experience the alternative endings.
• Frostbluff activities will allow you to unlock the Wintertide Steed which is a brand new Winter Festival Mount!
