== Overview ==
[[File:Winter 2005.jpg|left|thumb|200px|One of the Winter Horde welcomes you to open a present.]]

During [[Winter Event]]s, [[Mysterious Gift]]s appear throughout [[Paragon City]] and the [[Rogue Isles]], courtesy of [[Gamester]]. 

Upon opening a present, a hero or villain would find that if they were "nice," they would enjoy a nice reward. If they were "naughty," however, they would find themselves surrounded by the [[Winter Horde]], ready to make their holidays downright dangerous!
{{clr}}

== Gamester's Presents ==
"Nice" presents can include additional instances of the [[Mystery Gift]], [[Inspirations#Winter Event|Present]] inspirations, pieces of [[Candy Cane Salvage]], or sometimes a Present ''and'' a Candy Cane.

"Naughty" presents spawn groups of [[Winter Horde]], whose spawn size is based on team members. Use caution when opening presents away from teammates.

Changed in the [[Winter Event 2009|2009 event]], when enough {{red|(need number)}}{{missing}} presents have been opened in any zone, a [[Winter Lord]] (Giant Monster) will spawn (previously, Winter Lord spawns were random occurrences on large teams). When the Winter Lord is defeated, he leaves behind a huge present (marked on the map) and a timer starts counting down. Anyone who clicks on the huge present before the timer reaches zero will be teleported to [[Lord Winter]]'s realm when the timer reaches 0:00. Here, they face off against Lord Winter and his Winter Guardians and will earn [[Candy Cane]]s, [[Reward Merit]]s, and the [[Lord of Winter Badge|Lord/Lady of Winter]] badge for defeating Lord Winter.

This is different from Father Time's mission reward menu in which if you choose a reward for which you already have the badge, you'll get nothing.
