The gingerbread goblins are baking in Northrend, bells are jingling in the jungles of Stranglethorn, and the spirit of the season is in the air everywhere. That’s right—Winter Veil is upon us, and there’s a ton of festive fun in store for good ghouls and trolls who visit the Hearthstone tavern during the jolliest season of the year!

Starting now through December 31, exchange happy holiday greetings with worthy opponents in a Tavern festooned with a wonderland of fancy Winter Veil decorations. Cozy up and play 100 cards to complete the Happy Winter Veil! quest to receive FOUR The Boomsday Project card packs! Then settle in for some festive Tavern Brawl fun!

Returns & Exchanges

On the first week of Winter Veil my opponent returned to me. . . a deck full of questionable minions? Choose your hero, then build a deck of 20 minions (10 random spells from your class will be added automatically once the brawl begins).

When the match begins, each player will mulligan for an opening hand, and then “gift” the rest of their decks to their opponent. But there’s a catch! Each player only has 20 health, and each “gift” deck comes with a 5 mana Gift Receipt card! When Gift Receipt is played, it refreshes a player’s mana crystals, swaps the decks again, and destroys their opponent’s Gift Receipt!

When building this Tavern Brawl deck, you’ll need to think about what you'd want for mulligan, what you wouldn't want an opponent to play (at least until you have 5 mana), and what you might want to draw if your opponent decides to return your “gift”!

Play Returns & Exchanges and win a match to receive the delectable Winter Veil Treat card back!

Gift Exchange

An old Winter Veil favorite returns! In the Gift Exchange brawl, Greatfather Winter is dropping crates on the battlefield. Smash open a gift crate—either your opponent’s or your own!—and you’ll get to Discover a card from your Class or your opponent’s depending on which side of the field the crate was on. Don’t be shy about smashing those crates and snapping up Greatfather Winter’s gifts, because your opponent won’t be!

If you already received the Winter Veil Treat card back, this brawl will award a Classic card pack. If not then it’s another chance to earn Winter Veil Treat.

Winter Veil Wonder Bundle

It’s a season for giving, so if you know someone else who loves Hearthstone, this is a great time to bolster their collection by gifting them a Winter Veil Wonder Bundle. This bundle includes six packs each from Journey to Un’Goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, Kobolds & Catacombs, The Witchwood, and The Boomsday Project—a total of 30 packs—for a special price!

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself to a little Winter Veil Wonder too! Just keep in mind that each account can only receive one Winter Veil Wonder Bundle.

The Winter Veil Wonder Bundle is only available until the Winter Veil Celebration ends, so don’t miss it!

Winter Veil will grace the Tavern through December 31—hop a sleigh ride in for some Hearthstone fun before the festivities come to a close.

We wish a very warm and happy Feast of Winter Veil to you and yours!
