On Thursday, December 8th, Linden Lab announced the core Lab-supported / provided winter / Christmas seasonal events for 2022 in Second Life.
Winter Wonderland and Annual Snowball Fight
As usual, headlining the season is the re-opening of the Winter Wonderland regions. These bring with them the familiar Village of Lights, snowboarding, snowmobiling, ice-skating, snowy walks and more. Plus, as always the snowball fight arena, open for casual and group games – and, of course, the annual Lindens (and Moles vs. residents snowball fights.
The battles take place on Monday, December 19th, 202 from 10:00-11:00 SLT and 14:00-15:00 SLT. Spots are limited, so be sure to get there early to grab your free snow-launching weaponry from the vendors around the arena, and be sure to read and accept the local Experience.

So pretty much the same stuff as always, then: clone off the death march of more and more mall sims for merchants to fill and dust off the same Christmas builds and event they’ve been using for years. Do they think we don’t notice or do they just not care enough to do anything more interesting? Next stop: “Santa Patch and his Backing Band pose for photos” in five… four… three…
In your first graph you say, “Christmas seasonal events for 2021 in Second Life,” and I think you meant to say “2022.” Otherwise, you’ve once again given me more seasons to chop out some blocks of time on my schedule to spend more time in SL, and that’s not a bad thing.
