## Introduction The holidays are upon the many worlds of *Dungeons and Dragons*, and with the holidays come cheer, gifts, and a time-stopping, gift-giving, white-bearded wizard. This handbook includes nine new creatures and fifteen new magical items for use in your games, all of which are festively themed! ### Sample Holidays If your world does not have a winter-time holiday, you can use the following holidays for your game or for inspiration: **Heroes Day.** Generations ago, a party of adventurers brought an end to the coming apocalypse. On the anniversary of this event, people spend spend the day with their friends and families, giving gifts and remembering the heroes that saved the world. **The Week of Warmth.** Originating in the world's coldest regions, the Week of Warmth starts two days before the Great Chill, a powerful, three day blizzard that occurs every year. Those first two days are spent traveling to the home where family and friends are staying, and preparing for the blizzard by hunting, fishing, and chopping firewood. During the blizzard, residents of the home stay close by the fire, cook the meat they hunted, and tell stories. After the blizzard ends, a large bonfire is built outside to scare away the cold. Around the bonfire, people give gifts, sing songs, and pray for an early spring. ### Monsters and NPCs Adventurers will sometimes encounter things they only thought were myths and legends. You can use the following creature stats when certain myths and legends encounter them. \page
