Come back daily to complete sets and daily challenges to earn Christmas Lights. Read on for more information: Gift of Giving - December 1st to January 3rd:

The more you do, the more lights the community earns. The more lights the community earns, the higher tier the community will move to together. There are 12 tiers in total, each having a different total of lights needed to unlock, and each coming with their own unique reward. At the end of the January 3rd, the total number of lights earned will determined the reward tier that the community gets. Only players who contribute to the Christmas Lights total will be eligible to receive Gift of Giving rewards. Gift of Giving Reward Tiers: Tier 1:

Check out our all new Christmas Player Sets. They are a little different than other Sets, as this time the Master Set item does not require Master Collectibles to earn. All you need is the various Christmas Collectibles and a Carbon Collectible where applicable to get the Master Item. Christmas Sets and Requirements: Collectible to Gold Rare Player Requirement:

Starting November 30th at 10 PM, we will be posting a 24 hour community vote on Twitter to let you choose which Christmas item(s) will be released the following day at 2PM.



Each night during the event, we will select players* based on the following real world performance based criteria:



Players who had the 'nicest assist' in a game that night



Players who had the most assists in a game that night



Players who had the best team play (Example: blocking a key shot, last minute winning goal, etc.)



To keep in the spirit of the “Gift of Giving”, you will be able to vote on which one of these player items you want to see released the very next day at 2 PM PST.



*Players must have an existing player item in Hockey Ultimate Team to receive an inform player item.



And as an added bonus, every Friday night we will put a community vote up on Twitter where you can tell us EXACTLY who you want to see released based on their in-game performances. To submit your candidate simply respond to the Twitter vote posted on @EASPORTSNHL with who you would like to see released.



There is a lot of great content coming out this Christmas that we haven't outlined in this post, so make sure to come back to HUT daily to see what's new and earn daily rewards.
