Welcome to the heart of the Wattpad Christmas Carnival! In this chapter, you’ll find all the exciting, creative, and merry events lined up for you. From crafting the perfect holiday moodboard to sharing your secret emoji messages, there's no shortage of ways to get involved.

Whether you're here to showcase your skills or just enjoy the Christmas cheer, we've got something for everyone. So grab your hot cocoa, cozy up, and dive into the festivities!

🎈What:
Pinterest addicts, assemble!

Create a holiday moodboard that screams your ideal Christmas vibe.

Think “cozy Christmas mornings,” “frosted fantasy,” “gingerbread dreams,” or even “snowball fights and awkward family photos.”

Use Pinterest or any collage platform you like—just make it festive and fabulous.

🎈How to Enter:

Share a link to your Pinterest board or post your completed image collage on Wattpad. Don’t forget to sprinkle it with some holiday magic!

🎈Judging Criteria:

We’ll be looking at creativity, holiday vibes, the use of colors and images, and how unique your board is (sorry, no copying the same “classic Christmas tree” pins—be original, folks).

🎈Prize:

The most eye-catching, jolly, and imaginative moodboard will win a personalized shoutout and a custom holiday profile badge.

Bonus points for using tinsel creatively.

🎀What:
Here’s the deal: we’re creating the ultimate Christmas playlist, and we need your musical genius! No, this isn’t a competition (because honestly, who could compete with Mariah Carey?). Instead, we want you to share your top 3 Christmas songs that get you in the holiday spirit.

🎀How to Enter:
Drop your 3 favorite festive tunes into the shared Spotify Link. Let’s make the most epic Christmas playlist in history, together.

🎀Judging Criteria:
This isn’t about competing—this is about the community. The playlist will be giving its seasonal vibes and will be featured as "Ultimate Christmas Playlist."

🎀Timeline:

Submission Period: December 25th - January 5th

Participants submit 3 holiday songs they believe would make the ultimate Christmas playlist. They can pick any Christmas-themed song—classics, modern hits, or even underrated gems.

Playlist Compilation & Sharing: January 6th - January 8th

All submitted songs are compiled into a single playlist and shared with the community. The playlist will feature everyone's contributions, creating a diverse mix of festive songs.

Celebration & Discussion Period: January 6th - January 8th

Instead of voting, this period is all about sharing and celebrating the playlist! Participants can enjoy the playlist together, discuss their favorite songs, and share how the music adds to the holiday spirit.

Highlighting Favorite Picks: January 10th

Rather than announcing a winner, we would highlight some of the most unique or fun song picks, or give out lighthearted awards like “Most Festive Choice” or “Most Unexpected Track.”

💫What:
This is where your imagination takes flight! Create a holiday wishlist for your favorite Wattpad characters.

What would they want under the tree?

Maybe a sword for that brooding hero, or a lifetime supply of caffeine for your favorite overworked protagonist. The more creative, thoughtful, and funny, the better.

💫How to Enter:
Write up to 300 words describing the perfect wishlist for a character (yours or someone else’s).

Feel free to sprinkle in a little humor, but make sure your list reflects the personality of your chosen character.

💫Judging Criteria:
Creativity, humor, relevance to the character, and how much we wish we had those gifts for ourselves!

💫Prize:
The best list will win a one-of-a-kind, holiday-themed prize (think custom graphics or a sweet story feature).

🎁What:
Time to channel your inner Santa and help someone else in secret!

We’ll assign you a Secret Santa task—something like giving feedback on a story, recommending a book, or offering support in another creative way. The twist?

You can’t reveal who you are until after the task is completed. Oh, and remember when you do something for someone, you get to get something for yourself too. So it's a give and take thing, if you are up for it! Yayyy!

🎁How to Enter:
Sign up in the forms chapter, and you’ll be assigned your task.

Then, complete it without giving away your identity. It’s like playing detective—without the actual detective work.
