Event Bonuses and Seasonal Changes
The Main Game receives full Christmas decorations, accompanied by several global bonuses. Item spawns are doubled and can stack with weekend modifiers, reaching a maximum of 4x spawn rate. Stand skin pull rates are also doubled throughout the event. Christmas Presents can now appear naturally in the world with a 0.6% spawn chance, making regular exploration more rewarding than usual.
Christmas Present Drop Rates in Gamemodes

Cream Stand Rework
Cream receives a complete overhaul, featuring new animations, updated VFX, and redesigned abilities. Several exploit-related vulnerabilities have also been resolved, resulting in a more consistent and stable performance across all modes.

These codes offer early access to additional event rolls, especially helpful during the doubled skin chance period.
