Q's Winter Wonderland event
First up for discussion is Q's Winter Wonderland. Q has returned, bringing his winter wonderland from last year back again! Only now there are more festivities to be had! In addition to the daily ice skating race from last year, we now have a new "Fast and the Flurrious" competitive ice-racing course to run, where you can race against other players! This race is available 4 times per hour, and completing this race gets you a pair of [Snow Epohh Tag] used for a Duty Officer Assignment to breed new special varieties of Epohh pets! Placing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in this race will earn you additional tags!
Even with the old NPC-racing track there is something new: Completing this daily race will get you 40 [Autographed 8×10 Glossy Pictures of Q] While pretty invaluable themselves, if you collect 1000 of these autographed photos before the end of Q's Winter Wonderland event (that's 25 out of 35+ days), there is a Ferengi that will take those off your hands in exchange for a Breen Chell Grett Warship! More info on this Breen Warship can be found here.
And that's not all! With the return of Q's Winter Wonderland, holiday-themed Duty Officer Assignments have returned too. These offer holiday themed items that can be used to get the same items offered last year, in addition to new costume pieces like new scarves and new Winter Jackets! These Jackets come in 3 lengths (long, short, midriff) and in 3 colors each (black, brown, and white), available for both Federation and KDF players!
Q's Winter Wonderland event will be running from today until Jan 14, 2013. For more information about this event, click here.

In addition to the winter holiday event, Star Trek Online is also having a Featured Episode Rerun event running at the same time (Dec. 6, 2012 - Jan. 14, 2013).
