Our Holiday Market event has now officially ended. We hope you all had a happy holiday season and a fun time spending it with us here on The Bell Tree! To wrap everything up, we'll announce the winners and results from each market stall and attraction. We also have the community-decided snowman collectible to unveil, but first, let's take a look at all of the amazing entries that were submitted over these last few weeks.

Event Wrap-Up

Let's wrap up each of our Holiday Market events, starting with the one that decided our new snowman collectible, Sprinkle's Snowman Stockpile.

Sprinkle's Snowman Stockpile: After putting together many of your submitted snowman decorations, the community voted from ten designs in our poll to determine our new snowman collectible. And the winner is...

Snow Angel Snowman!​

This design used decorations submitted by BungoTheElf and IonicKarma. Our snowman is now complete, but the event's official snowman designer is still operational if you'd like to give it a try. Combine any amount of submitted decorations to dress up the snowman.

Happy New Year, TBT!

Thank you for joining us for our latest holiday and winter event. As always, special thanks to all of the staff of The Bell Tree who helped make this possible. You can see what everyone did to help create this event in the Staff Credits section of the original event thread, which has now been updated with some additions for this closing thread, including our new Bell Tree Market banner created by Laudine and the entry gallery created by Mistreil. I'd also like to give another extra thank you to the staff who helped go through all of the many hundreds of entries to pick our top tens for voting.

If you're expecting a collectible, bells, or some other prize, they should be distributed tomorrow. The event items will remain in the shop for a little while longer, but spend them as soon as possible!

That was quite a lengthy closing ceremony thread, but we're finally done! And we're also done with another year on The Bell Tree! We'll see you during our next event, whenever that may be. Happy New Year!

And Congratulations to all the winners !!!!!!!!

 

[kiwikenobi]

Thank you so much for this event! It was really fun! ^_^

 

[Firesquids]

Well I may not have won the animated snow globe collectable I so desired, but I'm very honored to be mentioned 4 times!
Congrats to the winners! Thanks to the staff for another wonderful event.

 

[Sheep Villager]

Woah the new banner art by Laudine is to die for!

Fun event, kudos to the staff. Bonus thanks for having one that was all around very accessible after the previous craft heavy events.

 

[chawwee]

Loved this event! Really fun to do, especially at christmas time. Thanks staff for all your hard work!!!!

 

[~Kilza~]

I still can't believe my ornament ended up being one of the favorites, and tied for 3rd at that! It's definitely an honor to have a bunch of people like my ornament that much!

Congrats to all the winners in the various events, well deserved! And congrats to the raffle winners as well! Thanks to the staff for running another successful event!

I've been wondering: is there any criteria you have to fulfill to have your entries put up in the event galleries? Do you stop including users after a certain amount because of bandwith or display limits? Because either there's entries missing like in the Halloween gallery or none of my devices work properly

Also yay snowangel

If you notice your entry (or someone else's) is missing, let me know! We automatically pull everything that was accepted, but sometimes things get skipped or the image links get broken in the process.

 

[Aniko]

Congratulation to all the winners! Thank you to the staff for all those fun events and nice collectibles.♥

 

[nightglow]

Congrats to all the winners!

Thank you staff for everything!

 

[Aquilla]

Omg, the banner is everything! Would love to buy a print of it actually, it's stunning!
It's so lovely we get to see everything in the gallery as well ^^
Thank you once again for the event! I feel so happy to see my name mentioned several times - so I know it was worth the effort I put into my entries!

Most of mine weren't on there except for my Quinn's quintessential quilts entry, and I thought it was because it was the only one with over 10 reactions (like and love)

 

[zissou]

A huge, hearty thank you to TBT staff for hosting an AMAZING event! ❄ This was my first event onsite, and I'm absolutely looking forward to participating in future ones. I got a real kick out of seeing my rep in the banner, hehe.

Congratulations to all of the winners, and everyone who entered! I loved scrolling through ALL of the submissions on the threads and seeing everyone's humor and creativity.

Happy holidays and new year, TBT friends. ❤

 

[tessa grace]

Thank you! I didn't fully particpate in every event this year but I had a blast reading and looking at others' submissions. You once again outdid yourselves staff

 

[Croconaw]

Thanks for another spectacular event! I enjoyed participating in this one! I’m glad there were tasks for everyone, including people who do not own a copy of New Horizons. Thank you for including everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful new year!

That's strange, not a single one of my entries ever showed up in the gallery lol. I participated in all the Halloween events back in October and figured that I submitted them too late to be included. Maybe all my images broke because I uploaded them through imgur? I used the native uploader this time though. Kinda funny it happened to all of my entries so far very mysterious, Thank you though

I'm happy to see that the snowman dress-up game is still online. That was my favorite thing about the entire event by far

 

[DaisyFan]

Sweet, I won the Bells! Thank you for this event and congratulations to other winners!

 

[JemAC]

Thank you for hosting another great event! Each activity was a lot of fun and I loved seeing all the new collectibles and the return of some old festive favourites!

Congratulations to all the winners, so many amazing entries throughout the event ☺

 

[LittleMissPanda]

Seeing my bauble up there (and 1st place no less) really has me seeing stars I'm happy so many people enjoyed it!

I can't stop looking at the banner, though, it's absolutely incredible! I'm mesmerized Ione's tail, such intricate detail! <3<3<3 Thank you Staff for hosting another fun, awesome event!
