Dear Settlers,
Epiphany has arrived on your island!

While all settlers are preparing for another festive banquet, an old woman appears and delivers sacks of coal to your village. She then then disappears on her broomstick, with a chilling laugh! Have you been good this year?

You will find gifts attached to the letter in the game

Happy Settling,

You are cordially invited to start the New Year with

Dear Settlers,

Germany's player Fuerst_Vlad did it again: The (meanwhile) professional map artist was in Christmas mood and created a new "Xmas island":
