ARK Winter Wonderland 7 - ARK holiday trex

You better watch out, you better not cry. You better not pout, I’m telling you why: RaptorClaus is coming to ARK! This holiday season, you can find RaptorClaus sailing across the sky in his sleigh, dropping off presents and Mistletoe to all who have been nice this year. If you’ve been bad though, RaptorClaus may have some coal for you instead. Joining alongside RaptorClaus this year, GachaClaus will also make a return to help spread the holiday fun! Carrying holiday-themed colors and items, you can trade any coal and mistletoes you’ve collected and trade them for skins, costumes, weapons, armor, or one of 12 new adorable chibis!
 
Bring the joy of ARK Winter Wonderland to your server when you activate the event on your ARK: Survival Evolved server! You can learn more about the Winter Wonderland event and how to activate it below! ❄️
