RS3 When Does Santa Come Visit | Christmas 2025 Event
Written by Andrew Hammel
Santa’s visits are the highlight of RuneScape’s Christmas event, and timing matters if you want to grab every seasonal reward before the snow melts.
When Santa Appears
In RuneScape 3, Santa arrives in the Christmas Village every Sunday from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM game time. You can find him inside his lodge near Clementine during the event, which runs from December 1, 2025, through January 4, 2026.
To visit Santa’s lodge, you need Nice Points, which are earned by sending letters and completing holiday activities around the village. Once you’ve earned enough, you’ll be allowed inside to claim that week’s gift directly from Santa.
Santa’s Weekly Rewards
Each Sunday, Santa gives out new festive rewards that change from week to week. The 2025 event features colorful Santa Hats in blue, yellow, green, purple, and pink, along with a rare Aurora Dye that adds a glowing shimmer effect to eligible cosmetic items.
If you miss a Sunday, you can still claim your previous gifts from the pile of presents outside Santa’s lodge. The present pile stays available until the end of the event on January 4.

Final Blurb
Santa visits RuneScape 3’s Christmas Village every Sunday night with festive rewards for players who’ve earned Nice Points. Between December 1 and January 4, you can collect colorful Santa Hats and even the new Aurora Dye straight from his lodge. Don’t forget to check the gift pile outside if you miss a week—those rewards won’t wait forever.
