I don't know about getting them in missions but they are all over the place in each zone. I haven't gotten a single Snow Beast or Snow Ball yet but a team mate got the Snow Beast on her 4th or 5th present.
I was hoping for a new snow badge instead of recycling the Cold Warrior from last year. Ah well.
Am I the only one who can't resist clicking on the gift inspirations as soon as you get them? I just can't wait to see what it is.
The few minutes I was actually on and able to play I found 3 naughtys and 2 nice. The gifts were both gift of power.
I'll save some eventually......I hope. Still haven't turned on my jingle jet yet.

I've been roaming around in bloody bay collecting trays of them, and then handing them out to my villain comrades engaged in battle with the enemy. Quite fun. 
It seems like presents are waaaay easier to get in BB than other zones, although I can't tell if it's because there are more spawns or fewer players trying to get them. Being a stalker certainly helps.
By the way, I got snowballs after at least fourty nice presents, so it may take you a while. I got my snowbeast very quickly, before my tenth nice present. I'm not up to one hundred total yet, but it's only a matter of time at this rate.
has anyone reported re-getting the temp summon? (i.e. use it and get it again, or even get extra charges)
Pinnacle
EmpError (Katana/Regen 50)
Now that I've got there, my altitis resistance has dropped immensely
You can get it more than once. I've gotten it three times.
But you can only hold one at a time, and use one at a time.
Never surrender! Never give up!

Visual confirmation of the snowbeast pet, if anyone cares (?). I was running around Steel Canyon trying to get snowballs. One charge on the power. Pet will fight for you, and he seems time limited.
Snowbeast Pet
Read the power description. It says it's a one charge, five minute duration pet.

I got the accolade on my villian on a "naughty" present. i don't think it matter if it's good or bad.
Well, my apologies then. I bounced him out in excitement before reading it

I'm not sure.. but it is kinky at least.. well.. if you weren't on fire it would be.
And trapped in Jello....

Collecting a ton of presents also nets you the Toy Collector badge. Not sure how many, exactly, or if it matters whether you're naughty or nice.

Was this confirmed somewhere?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah? I collected over 50 so far...

Outdated post. Collect 100 Nice presents.
[/ QUOTE ]
I beg to differ.
I got the Toy Collector badge immediately after opening my 200th present, which happened to be a Naughty one. I got exactly 58 "You recieved Present." lines of chat (i.e. Nice presents)
So I don't think it is 100 Nice presents. I think it is 200 openings, naughty or nice.
Heroes on Infinity, Virtue, Freedom and Pinnacle.
Villains on Virtue.
Over 5000 hours of playtime
49 or so characters; average level 30; 25 levels of PL total across these characters

Because you look so delieceous and naughty wrapped up.

Anyone able to check to see if teaming helps with getting the presents? Like how mobs defeated count for everyone's badges in the same zone on the same team?

Anyone know if the amount of WL Babies you killed last year (Without getting the badge) counts towards the badge this year? I'd be interested in knowing how close I came on a few of my heroes.

I believe they do.

YES! Finally got Cold Warrior! (I was only 10 short)

I'm pretty sure the 30 day counter on the jingle jet starts the day you log in and receive it. It doesn't matter if you use it or not, it will still vanish in 30 days. And if you don't log on to receive it by January 2nd or so, I don't think you'll be able to get it at all.

Has anyone gotten the SnowBeast temp power first, and then Snowballs later on?

I got my snowbeast before the snowballs
