I always know a holiday is coming because the press releases from various MMO companies start coming in detailing their holiday celebration.

Today we have Mythic Entertainment detailing events in Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, Dark Age of Camelot and Ultima Online all of which start on December 15. Players can have fun with parties, win prizes and receive gifts.

Here are the details for Mythic’s Holiday celebrations:
Warhammer Online’s 2nd Annual Keg End Live Event runs from December 16th – January 4th: http://herald.warhammeronline.com/liveevents/2009KegEnd.php
• During the celebration of the Dwarf New Year, players can earn exclusive in-game rewards, including the titles “Brew Hound” (Order) and “Broo Dawg” (Destruction), a deployable Party Keg allies may interact with to increase their morale gain rate, and a Keg Tap with career-specific stats.
• Rare World Drop Items include the Battlebrew Backpack (one for each tier in which they are found) and your own personal keg toting servant – the Dwarf Keg Handler (Order) or Goblin Bar-Back (Destruction)!

Dark Age of Camelot’s Midwinter Festival kicks off December 17th and runs through January 14th bringing celebration and decoration to the coldest and darkest times of the year:
• During the festival, tavern keepers will decorate their buildings with holiday adornments while the citizens of each Realm set up decorated evergreens and offer them as gifts to those who provide them with assistance.
• The Realms will also be visited by four special guests: Olibar the Midwinter Tomte (all Realms), Santa Nicholas (Albion), Lucia of the Light (Hibernia), and Jack Frost (Midgard), each who come to bring Midwinter cheer and gifts.
• Players may also participate in the Trinkets for Tots quest to round out this season of giving.

Ultima Online’s Festival of the White Hart will take place from December 15th through January 4th:
• White Hart, a holiday white stag, will appear on each shard to give out Christmas goodies, including holiday cookies, Rum Balls, Angel Food Cake and Naughty Switches to all the bad boys and girls.
• All current players who have characters 30 days or older may choose from a collection of gifts for their homes, including a nutcracker, four statues (Mermaid, Pegasus, Seahorse, or Griffin), or icicles. There are also new holiday gift box containers and one special rare box.
