Only during the Winter event? How are these gained? random drops activated during the event? Purchasable with merits? Candy canes?
I just want to know if they will freeze over the lakes and stuff so I can ice skate like i did many years back...
The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.
If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

right, but that was a temp power. Enhancements are permanent and offer set bonuses. From the wiki:

Winter's Gift is a Universal Travel enhancement set in the Invention System. It is available in the 10-50 level range.
There are three enhancements in this set:
Winter's Gift: Run Speed, Jump, Flight Speed, Range,
Winter's Gift: Run Speed, Jump, Flight Speed, Range/End, and
Winter's Gift: Slow Resistance (20%) .
Only one of each of these types of enhancements may be slotted per power.
The following set bonuses apply when slotting more than one of the enhancements in this set into a single power:
Two enhancements increases Cold Resistance by 5%.
Three enhancements improves your Movement by 6%.

just curious "how" to aquire them.
How about starting it "sooner" to atone for all the downtime lately?
One important note! If you still have either of the temp power (Holiday Spirit or Holiday Cheer) from previous events, you will not get either of the new powers. Make sure you use them or delete them before the event starts if you want new copies of them!
...I forgot what experience means.
When looking at the OP, doesn't it appear 1,3 and 5 are missing from the list? What three things were we gonna get before Posi stormed into the office and declared "No! You shall remove three items from that list! Baaahumbug!" 
Also, can the winter themed hat PLZ have some long hair.....plz....*
If I remember correctly, the recipes for Winters Gift are 50 candy canes each. And I also believe that you have the option of taking 5 candy canes at the end of the winter mission reward table (you can get it multiple times). That is if I remember correctly ...
Edit:
Oh and are we going to get any emergency bug fixes for the winter event if any crop up ? You know ... seeing as it was tested ... twice ... for 2 hours each time ... just like the Halloween Event ... which had bugs ... and didn't get fi...

I believe that someone said when they tested the Winter Event on test a couple months ago that these recipes are indeed purchased with Candy Canes, 30 canes a pop I believe was the 'price'.
I could be wrong of course and I can't seem to find any of the posts about the Winter Event testing. I guess we'll see Soon™ enough.

Are you Naughty or are you Nice?
Don't forget to earn the Nice and Naughty Halos this year!

Winter event is my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaavorite of the COX events! I don't mind saving baby new year like 8-10 times.
I like fighting frosty the snowman's big uncles, and the presents are fun. Temp powahs! Ski shlopes! Don is excited and ready, yay.
I'm really hoping they do start it "earlier" than their stated 15th, just because I really, really need something to go right for me these days...
I cannot WAIT to get those halos though. I have my two characters that need one - Winter's True Spirit will look perfect with the Nice one, and her companion Trickster's Jackalope who never quite has got the hang of not burning things with his fire powers, needs the Naughty one just because it fits his look.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!
Repurposed
Obsidius needs the Naughty Halo... it's too Hellboy to pass up
My Blaster striker needs the Nice halo to go with his Cimeroan/ Angelic outfit.
Other than that, I'm looking forward to the slopes
I really hope the Snowball temp returns...always fun pegging someone while Cloaked/Stealthed and having them look frantically around....
Yep, the snowball throw temp power is back.
