DayZ Christmas 2024



Season’s Greetings, Survivors! 
We’re thrilled to announce the return of our annual Christmas event across all official servers, maps, and platforms. The festivities will run from December 17th to January 7th. Let’s get into all the goodies we’ve prepared for you.  

Christmas Trees and Gifts 
The beloved singing Christmas trees are making their return! You’ll find them scattered across villages and towns on all three maps. We won’t spoil the fun by revealing their exact locations—you’ll need to go out and explore!  Each tree will feature gift boxes filled with goodies like food, Christmas-themed clothing, ammo, and more. As usual, opening these boxes will grant you gift wrap, which you can use to repackage a gift of your choice for a fellow survivor. 



Santa’s Sleigh Crashes 
Santa’s sleigh dynamic crashes are also back and, for the first time, will appear on Sakhal alongside Chernarus and Livonia. Rest assured, these festive crashes won’t replace regular helicopter crashes on Chernarus and Livonia. In fact, they’ll even include loot from standard heli crashes! There is also an additional incentive to hunt down these sleigh crashes, especially on Livonia and Sakhal. They will include keys to endgame items like punch cards on Livonia and scientific briefcase keys or glow plugs on Sakhal. As you journey through the forests of Chernarus, the plains of Livonia, or the ice sheets of Sakhal, keep your ears open for the magical sounds of sleighs crashing and your eyes peeled for the glowing blue light. Let the hunt begin!  



Reindeer Take Over 
Speaking of hunting, we wanted to bring the spirit of Christmas to life, so we replaced all the deer on Chernarus and Livonia with reindeer. Even better, there’s a special reindeer with a glowing red nose and Christmas lights tangled in its antlers! Keep an eye out for this festive creature who might be found near sleigh crashes or roaming amongst a herd of reindeer. We’re rooting for his survival after the crash, or even against the infected Santa! Otherwise you’re in for a free loot of Christmas light.

Seasonal Cosmetics 
All your favorite Christmas cosmetics are back, including headbands, seasonal eye masks, Santa hats, Santa beards, Morozko hats, and Christmas gloves.
We’re also introducing three new “ugly” Christmas sweaters with DayZ-themed slogans. We hope these additions bring a festive touch to your survival wardrobe.  



Candy Canes
The magical, oh-so-nutritious candy canes are returning! These sweet treats could prove invaluable in harsher environments like Sakhal’s inland regions where food is scarce.  
A Frosty First with Frostline 
This year marks the first ever white winter Christmas in DayZ, thanks to the addition of Sakhal. We can’t wait to see how you celebrate the holidays in the new winter map. Share your Christmas-themed screenshots, adventures, and shenanigans with us using #TalentforDayZ and #ChristmasZ.
From all of us on the DayZ team, we hope this event adds warmth and joy to your winter season. 
Best regards,
Lynn
