The Holidays have arrived on Ark's mysterious island. The usually tropical climate has now received a heavy dusting of snow and all the creatures and survivors are gearing up for Santa Raptors arrival.

Ark has been doing a great job bringing the various holidays into the game world, and they continue to do so for Christmas. New creatures have been added including penguins, reindeer, and the mega dodo.

There are also a bunch of new items you can craft and collect to boost your holiday spirit:

• Christmas Tree
• Wreath
• Christmas Lights
• Stockings
• Snowmen
• Presents that you can gift to other players with actual loot inside

During all the festivities Raptor Claus will be flying over the island dropping presents to the nice survivors and coal to the naughty ones. How he decides who goes into what category is a Raptor Claus secret, but be extra good to your fellow survivors just in case.
