The seasonal frost has returned to Winterland, carrying with it the nostalgic whispers of years past and the excitement of a new journey. This year, however, the realm has undergone a transformation. What was once a quiet, snowy expanse now pulses with a newfound vibrancy—a cozy atmosphere defined not just by flickering hearths, but by the intricate patterns of tradition and memory.
The five magical depots, ranging from the frosted heights of Snowy Peaks to the artisanal halls of Marigold’s, have begun weaving their unique spirits into the very fabric of the land. As you traverse these roads, the trailers you haul serve as moving tapestries, adorned with woolen motifs that celebrate the heart of every delivery. These aren’t merely cargo containers; they are symbols of craft and community, carrying the essence of chocolate, hand-made gifts, heartfelt letters, and festive melodies.
We invite our #BestCommunityEver to return to these enchanted roads. Take the wheel and help distribute the wonders of Winterland across a living, breathing realm in our Woven Wonders of Winterland event for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator!
Prepare for a heartwarming expedition! As the magical depots stir and their woven patterns spread, we need your help to carry this holiday spirit to every corner of the map. The community’s objective is to collect 1,000 Snowflakes in total, distributed across five tiers of 200 Snowflakes each.
For every tier successfully completed, you will earn a unique cabin accessory inspired by the traditions of the five enchanted depots. Step into the season, grip the steering wheel, and watch the tapestry of Winterland expand with every mile you cover.
This season, the roads feel more spirited than ever. You’ll encounter local traffic sporting festive liveries, their vibrant colors echoing the magic of the depots. These small details bring a spark of warmth to the frozen landscape, making the entire realm feel more interconnected and alive.
You can monitor the community’s collective efforts on the World of Trucks website or via the updated External Contracts interface within the game.
Navigating the Winterland Portals
To enter Winterland, simply accept an event cargo job destined for the realm. Once accepted, follow the sparkles on your map to find the gateway. Delivering cargo out of Winterland will take you to its specific destination, while leaving without a trailer will return you to a random city to begin your next assignment.
To further immerse you in the festivities, we have introduced a new Winterland Desktop Background Theme. This scene captures the realm’s cozy glow, featuring a hearth-warmed cabin and a snow-covered truck resting in the soft twilight, setting the perfect mood for your seasonal hauls.
Event Rules & Objectives
Using External Contracts on a World of Trucks-connected profile, the community is tasked with transporting supplies and gift packages to and from Christmas Winterland. Deliveries involve five distinct depots:
- Christmas Market – A bustling town square hub.
- Marigold’s – A world-renowned chocolate factory.
- Northstar – The central postal and sorting office.
- Rudolph’s Crafts – An artisanal workshop for holiday magic.
- Snowy Peaks – A high-altitude resort marketplace.
Personal Goal: Complete at least 15 deliveries to or from Winterland. To qualify, your deliveries must include at least one trip to or from each of the five depots. You may use ETS2, ATS, or a combination of both.
Snowflake System: Cities earn Snowflakes based on their connection to Winterland. One Snowflake is awarded to a city for every 1,000 deliveries made between it and the realm. Each city can accumulate up to 5 Snowflakes.
Community Goal: Reach a global total of 1,000 Snowflakes. Rewards are unlocked at every 200-Snowflake milestone.
