Ahoy Castaways!
December is finally here, and with it comes our 2021 Winter Event, the largest content update we've ever done on Castaway. This update includes new gear sets, furniture, holiday-themed collectibles, new cosmetics, a new spawn, and much more!
Read the rest of the blog post to find out how you can participate in the festivities!
Presents
There are 4 unique presents to collect and open: green, blue, red, and gold. Presents contain pieces of the new Candycane gear set along with 10 edible holiday-themed treats. The higher the rarity of the present, the more rewards you'll get!

Here's how to get presents:
- Green presents can be obtained while using any sword, bow, pickaxe, axe, shovel, or hoe.
- Snowman tools must be used to get blue, red, and gold presents.
- While wearing a full set of Snowman armor, your chances of finding presents are doubled.
Furniture
Two sets of furniture are now available for purchase with in-game money through the furniture category on /shop or in the showroom at /warp furniture


December Crate
The December monthly crate includes the new Snowman gear set, 5 holiday-themed hats, gold presents, vehicles, spawners, in-game money, and more!
The Snowman tool ability allows you to collect all 4 presents and the armor set bonus doubles your chances!
