During the Christmas Event, Presents will drop from all enemies at a rate of 1/2250, regardless of quest, difficulty, or episode. This does not include scared Rappies. Presents will not drop from boxes.

When found, a Present can be "used" from the player's inventory to acquire a random item. The items available from Presents during the Christmas event are always pre-determined, but are not revealed to the community. Instead, the community must compile the list of possible items by reporting them in the annual Christmas event thread posted on the forums at the start of the event.

From the 2017 Christmas event and onward, there are two types of Present (though they appear identical in the player's inventory):

It can also be obtained (in varying quantities) from Presents (see above). Coal may be exchanged for two different types of Presents in the Quest icon.pngChristmas Event Shop at the following rates:
