Christmas Event
Winter Wishes
Before Christmas Eve, a fierce snowstorm left the picturesque town in ruins. Determined to keep the holiday spirit alive, the shy and timid Violetta resolved to rebuild it using her spider silk. With help from the Composer and Puppeteer, the repairs were completed just in time for Christmas Eve. Adorned with delicate silk decorations, the town radiated a unique charm. That evening, under dazzling Christmas lights, Violetta lit the town's Christmas tree herself and joined everyone in singing carols.
