As part of the Winter Veil activities, players are given many gifts by Great-father Winter. Many of these gifts arrive by mail (which means, I guess, that trial account players miss out until they register).

One such gift is that of the Winter Veil Disguise Kit which I believe came to me as a result of having taken down The Abominable Greench in Alterac Mountains (you can see where to find him and what quests are associated with him through this link here).

I took the Greench down on the 15th, the first day of the festival, and so this was from my second day of gifts from Great-father Winter after that had been completed.

I think I’ll save mine for July, especially since in the process of doing the quests for Great-father Winter, I also got a copy of the [Snowmaster 9000] and can make a snowball in the middle of summer!

Winter Veil is here, and the various Christmas quests (which I’m too busy to spend oodles of time documenting :( ) abound, and so do the Reindeer mounts.

How To Get A Reindeer Mount

Complete quests during the Winter Veil event - some reward [Preserved Holly] or [Fresh Holly] which can be used on your existing mount to change its appearance temporarily.

There is no permanent Reindeer mount.

[Preserved Holly] can be stockpiled and sold in the Auction House - buy up a bunch and save them for July, then list some in the AH and buff your own mount and sit in the city during a busy day - a little bit of advertising should do the trick!

Watching Others Fly Their Reindeer In Outland

I know there’s ways you can change your WoW configuration files slightly that will allow you to go completely belly-up on your flying mount, enabling you to (fly upside down?) do a complete “barrel roll”, but I haven’t tried it myself.

I got a chance to see someone in action on their Reindeer in Shattrath City, however, and got some good screenshots of it. Here’s one of the best ones:
