Sony Online Entertainment is kicking off its annual winter seasonal events and promotions for players across its games portfolio, including DC Universe Online, Dragon's Prophet, EverQuest, EverQuest II and PlanetSide 2.

With many winter themed festivities already underway and extending through the New Year, players will embark on quests that are sure to get the yuletide spirit pumping. Players are encouraged to login daily as to not miss any of the holiday festivities!

DC Universe Online: Now through Jan. 6, 2015

Season's Greedings! Larfleeze is up to his no-good-holiday-shenanigans again. During this year's winter seasonal event, take on his Orange Lantern Corp minions in the open world or confront the nefarious thief in a special boss fight. Stop him, and you can earn yourself some holiday cheer and presents of your own. Previous years' feats and rewards are back, in addition to new base items, styles, a feat, and collection.

Dragon's Prophet:  Now through Jan. 15, 2015

The Silver Dragon Festival is a time for family and friends to gather in celebration of the winter season and the forthcoming New Year's festivities. It's a time to enjoy the warmth of good food and pure wine, performances and songs praising the deeds of the dragon dance, and share gifts with one another to help bless the New Year. Unfortunately, this year's Silver Dragon Festival has fallen prey to the misdeeds of a group of goblins and giants who plan to steal the dragon gifts. In order to bring peace to the festivities, it's up to the good people to come together and put a stop to the goblins and giants. In true holiday spirit though, the Great Dragons don't want to see any killing in the struggle, so the people must use the "snow gift of light" and make snowballs and snowmen to restore peace.

EverQuest: Now through Jan. 7, 2015

Frostfell has come back to the world of Norrath and since it's the season to be giving, what more could an adventurer ask for than a stocking full of exciting quests?

Don't miss out on seeing Santug Cluagg from Dec. 24-26 for some extra special gifts. Those looking to spruce up their homes for the holidays can also grab some Frostfell themed items in the Marketplace.

EverQuest II: Now through Jan. 8, 2015

With the return of the Frostfell Wonderland Village, players can embark on some of their favorite holiday themed quests, plus a few exciting new surprises for this year's holiday hoopla. Alongside new craftables, daily presents, and merchants items is a brand new quest -- 'The Great Candy (Cane) Chase.'

PlanetSide 2: Dec. 18, 2014 - Jan. 7, 2015

On top of Auraximas, comes the '12 Days of Camo'. Between Dec. 7 and 18, players will find that there will be a new special camo featured in the marketplace at a sale price. Players who buy at least 6 of the special camos at any point before the 25th will also receive a unique bonus camo.
