Wintersday 2014
“The nights may be growing longer and colder, but Lion's Arch is merrier than ever before! Wintersday is returning to Tyria, along with everyone's favorite toymaking inventor – Tixx! Celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of the next in this six-week winter festival!
— Official website
Wintersday 2014 is the repetition of the A Very Merry Wintersday festival, released with the December 16th, 2014 update.
The events were held at Divinity's Reach, since the rebuilding of the decimated Lion's Arch is still ongoing, and as one Wintersday reveler said, humans "appreciate" it more than the other races do. The player character received a mail from orphans of Divinity's Reach, asking for help in dealing with a grawl named Grawnk, who stole Wintersday ornaments. A replica of Ho-Ho-Tron was installed to accept donations.

Toymaker Tixx Wintersday Has Returned! Dear Wintersday revelers, My airship and I have returned to Divinity's Reach for another year of Wintersday merriment. Prepare yourself, for plethora of holiday happenings await you! Speak with the Bell Maestro to make happy harmonics in the Bell Choir, or to the Festive Youth to jump into my Winter Wonderland. You may also converse with the Festive Lionguard near the Divinity's Reach snow globe for some Snowball Mayhem. And for those who desire a challenge, journey through the candy-swirl portal next to me for a test of skill inside my Infinirarium airship. I've also heard that the local orphanage has suffered the immodest tragedy of having its Wintersday ornaments stolen! The orphans could surely use your help retrieving them. And then there's the matter of the malfunctioning toys in my workshop. Left unchecked, they could ruin Wintersday! You can enter my ship and reduce the toys to scraps in Toypocalypse by speaking to the Toy Captain near me. As always, happy holidays,—Toymaker Tixx |
