Frostfell Timeline
From EQ2i, the EverQuest II wiki
"Frostfell is coming, the vulrich's getting fat! Please to put a copper in the old gnome's hat!" from a popular Qeynos children's Frostfell rhyme
It's Frostfell Time in Norrath, again! Song fills the air, Norrathians bustle to purchase that special gift and all the fixing for their feast, and those Frostfell Elves are out in force once more, bring cheer and gifts of the season to one and all. Heck, even Lord Nagafen wants in on the festivities!
Frostfell is the Live Event for December, first run in 2005, in celebration of the Winter Solstice (or Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, if you prefer).

[edit] Snowball Fights and More!
Scattered about the city zones you will find harvestable stacks of snowballs(on about a 1 minute timer). Gather them to get a pile of 20 Snowballs (which stack in 100s now). When you target a mob, or another player, and use the snowball you will throw a snowball at the target causing them to run one of several different animations including shaking a fist at the thrower or being knocked down! Get your guild together for a Frostfell party and have a snowball fight contest!
Or if you prefer something a little more than a snowball, you can craft a Sturdy Fruitcake to pitch at your fellow Norrathians. A more hefty hit the the face, these fruitcakes will cause the player (or NPC -- try one of each on your favorite city guard!) to fall to the ground in shock.
[edit] 2005: The Tale of the Gigglegibber Grump
Note: This questline from Frostfell 2005 is no longer available. Furthermore, inside the Frostfell Wonderland Village, you will found the former "grump" (Grimagus Gigglegibber) standing around the same tree as Queen Bunny.
The 2005 Frostfell storyline dealt with the case of the Gigglegibber Grump. This quest line was started in Qeynos Harbor or West Freeport.

- ...With apologies to Charles Dickens
The storyline from Frostfell 2006 centers upon the NPC, Mr. McScroogle.[2]
In Qeynos Harbor, West Freeport, Haven, and Kelethin (outside Jysolin's Pub not far from Granite Hills Acorn Lift), visit the giant Frostfell Tree and find a magic wardrobe! As in Narnia, you step through (click) the wardrobe to be transported to the Frostfell Wonderland Village! Find Mr. McScroogle on an island at the back of the village and, when you talk to him, you are transported to his home AS HIM (in an illusion form)!
You will be visited by 3 ghosts of Frostfell past, present and future.
