Today, The Dawning festival returns to Destiny 2, running through January 6, 2026, as Eva Levante once again arrives in the Tower to usher in the solar system’s annual holiday celebration available to all. Guardians can take part in festive snowball battles to freeze and shatter enemies, gather ingredients, and bake treats for allies across the system.
This year introduces Dawning: Snowball Fight, a new Crucible Ops activity where Guardians rely solely on snowballs to outplay their rivals without access to weapons and abilities. Eva also brings back her seasonal cookie-baking quest, encouraging Guardians to collect ingredients, craft holiday treats, and exchange them for Dawning-themed rewards throughout the system.
The Dawning enters the Event Home for the first time, offering a new reward track with an exclusive shader, ship, emblem, Ghost shell, and more. Dawning Engrams earned from Portal activities or by trading Dawning Spirit with Eva can be used to obtain event-exclusive weapons, including:
- Fimbulwinter Stitch: Precision Frame Arc Sidearm
- Mistral Rift: Adaptive Frame Void Linear Fusion Rifle
- Permafrost: Wave-Frame Stasis Grenade Launcher
From December 16 at 9:00AM PT through January 6 at 8:59AM PT, the Bungie Store will offer a seasonal promotion featuring 10% off current listed price sitewide*. Fans can also enjoy $7.77 Flat Rate Shipping** during the promotion window, as well as the “Sweet and Snowy” Destiny 2 emblem with any purchase. Additionally, the limited-time restock of retired Bungie Rewards remains available through December 31st.
