Key Takeaways

- Participate in Old School RuneScape’s Christmas Parade on December 16 between Falador, Varrock, and Lumbridge.
It’s officially time for Old School RuneScape players to get into the festive spirit – Jagex has announced that the game’s 2024 Christmas event is available now. This update will be Old School RuneScape‘s last until January 8, with Jagex heading home for the holiday season.
Each year, Jagex adds various events to Old School RuneScape based on holidays such as Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. By participating in these events, which usually consist of completing a themed quest, players can earn limited-time cosmetics that can only be obtained during that time. This tradition started in the original RuneScape back in 2001 and has continued into both RS3 and OSRS. Other events in the past have celebrated occasions such as April Fools, Midsummer, and Thanksgiving, although they haven’t been mainstays like the main trio.
