The Feast of Winter Veil is going on from December 15th to Jaunary 2nd and is quite the money making opportunity for those that plan ahead.

One of the quests “Treats for Great-father Winter” requires players to make and bring 5 Gingerbread Cookies and an Ice Cold Milk to Great-father Winter in Orgrimmar.

The Recipe for Gingerbread Cookie (5) can be obtained from Smokywood Pastures vendors along with Holiday Spices.

The Gold making opportunity of the Holiday season comes with the 2nd component of the: Gingerbread Cookie Recipe, which is a Small Egg.
