The holidays are a time for joy, but they can also feel lonely for those far from family, friends, or coworkers. This Christmas, the Metaverse offers a unique space to make new connections, join vibrant communities, and celebrate together from afar.
From decorating winter wonderlands to sharing creative projects and unlocking festive rewards, here’s how some of the biggest platforms in Web3 are bringing people together this season.
Transform San Francisco and Tokyo into Festive Wonders in Upland
In Upland, the holidays are all about creativity and collaboration. This season, you can help transform San Francisco and Tokyo into magical winter wonderlands while sharing the festive spirit with a like-minded community.
Winter Wonderland Contest: Join fellow players to decorate Upland’s City Plaza at 52 Grove St., San Francisco. Bring your ideas to life with snowy pathways, glowing lights, and charming holiday touches to create a space that feels like stepping into a festive postcard.
Wonderland Season Property Decor Contest: Over in Tokyo, it’s your chance to showcase your design skills by decorating properties with map assets. Place a Wonderland Creator Easel to join, track your progress alongside others on the leaderboard, and celebrate the collective joy of transforming a city into something magical. Compete for exclusive rewards, like the Wonderland 2024 Santa Block Explorer and the prestigious Model Home Pin.
Unleash Creativity and Meet Fellow Designers in The Sandbox
The Sandbox is bringing the community together for a festive VoxEdit Contest, where players can create winter-themed assets that reflect their own vision of the season. From surfing Santas to cozy igloos and dazzling ice sculptures, the contest invites you to share your imagination while connecting with other talented creators.
With a prize pool of 20,000 SAND and fun categories like “The Grinch” for non-Christmas entries or “A Toy Story” for the best toy creation, there’s something for everyone—whether you’re a seasoned designer or a newcomer looking to get involved. Submit your creations, celebrate creativity, and bond with a community that shares your passion.
Join the Festivities and Earn Rewards in Decentraland with Exodus
In Decentraland, Exodus’ Christmas event runs from December 14th to January 5th, offering a perfect opportunity to engage with the community while earning festive rewards. Collect Snowflake Soul Shards by crafting, gathering, and battling alongside others, then work together to fill the Snowflake Soul Shard with contributions.
Once filled, everyone who participates will earn a Christmas 2024 Ticket to redeem for exclusive rewards, like the Wintersoul wearable NFT skin and the festive red Santa suit. This collaborative event highlights the power of community spirit—where working together creates rewards for all.
Celebrate Together, Wherever You Are
This Christmas, the Metaverse is more than just a digital world, it’s a place to connect, create, and celebrate with others who share your excitement for the season. Whether you’re decorating cities in Upland, designing assets in The Sandbox, or earning rewards in Decentraland, these activities offer a chance to find joy and belonging in a new kind of holiday community. The holidays may look different in the virtual world, but the spirit of togetherness and celebration is stronger than ever.
