What Is The Forge Christmas Store in Roblox?
The Forge Christmas Store is a special seasonal shop introduced in the Winter Expansion Part 1 update for the popular Roblox RPG, The Forge. This limited-time Christmas Shop allows players to spend XMas Tickets on exclusive holiday-themed items, powerful blueprints, and game-changing totems that boost your mining and combat abilities.
Unlike the regular shops in the game, this store is only available during the two-week holiday event. It features items you cannot get anywhere else, including the Candy Cane weapons and special totems that provide significant buffs. The store is managed by the Santa NPC, who also gives you daily Holiday Tasks to earn the currency needed for purchases.
The Winter Expansion transforms the game with icy themes, new enemies like Crystal Spider and Diamond Spider, and fresh mining opportunities with Icy Pebbles. The Christmas event adds a festive layer to the core gameplay loop of mining, forging, and combat.
How to Unlock the Christmas Store and Find Santa NPC?
Before you can access the Christmas Store, you must first reach the Frostspire Expanse Island. This is the third island in the game, also called Island 3 or the Winter Island. Here are the exact steps:
Step 1: Reach Level 70
You need to be at least level 70 before the portal to Frostspire Expanse becomes available. Focus on mining ores, forging weapons and armor, and completing regular quests to gain XP quickly.
Step 2: Get the Portal Tool
If you haven’t already, complete the tutorial and talk to the Wizard NPC to unlock the Portal Tool. This usually happens around level 10, but you must still reach level 70 to see the Frostspire option.
Step 3: Teleport to Frostspire Expanse
Equip the Portal Tool from your hotbar. Select the “Frostspire Expanse” option from the menu and click the Teleport button. You will arrive on the Winter Island.
Step 4: Find Santa NPC
Santa NPC is impossible to miss. He stands on a large ship right next to your spawn point on the island. The ship has festive decorations and a giant Christmas tree. Press the ‘E’ button to interact with him.
Step 5: Access the Christmas Shop
When talking to Santa, select the “Shop” option from the dialogue menu. This opens the Christmas Store interface where you can browse and buy items using your XMas Tickets.
You can also accept Holiday Tasks from Santa by selecting the “Can I see the quests?” option. We recommend doing both every day to maximize your progress during the event.
How to Get XMas Tickets Fast in The Forge?
XMas Tickets are the exclusive currency for the Christmas Shop. You can only earn them by completing daily Holiday Tasks from Santa NPC. Each day, you can complete three different tasks and earn up to 420 XMas Tickets total.
All Holiday Tasks and Rewards
TableCopy
| Quest Name | Task Description | XMas Tickets Reward |
| Santa’s Workshop Warmup | Forge 3 Armors and 3 Weapons | 120 |
| Cold as Snow | Mine 50 Icy Pebbles | 140 |
| Santa’s Pest Control | Kill 25 Crystal Spider and 5 Diamond Spider | 160 |
Pro Tip: Start all three quests at the same time. While you’re mining the 50 Icy Pebbles, you’ll naturally encounter Crystal Spiders and Diamond Spiders to kill. After gathering enough ore, head back to forge your items. This efficient method lets you complete all three daily quests in one gameplay session.
Additional Ways to Boost Your Ticket Income
- The Forge codes: Check for active codes that might give free reforge tickets or temporary buffs. While codes don’t directly give XMas Tickets, they can help you reroll for better races or get totems that make quest completion faster.
- VIP Game Pass: If you have the VIP game pass, you may get slight advantages that speed up your mining and combat, letting you finish tasks quicker each day.
- Private Server Farming: Using a private server can reduce lag and player competition, making it easier to find and mine Icy Pebbles without interference.
- AFK Farm Setup: Set up an AFK farm near ore spawn points, but remember you must actively participate in forging and combat to complete the other two daily quests.
Important: These are daily quests, which means they reset every 24 hours. You cannot complete them multiple times in one day. Make sure to log in each day of the event to earn maximum XMas Tickets.
All Christmas Store Items and Prices
The Christmas Shop offers 11 unique items ranging from powerful pickaxes to useful totems and weapon blueprints. Here’s the complete list:
TableCopy
| Item | Price (XMas Tickets) | Stock Available | Description |
| Christmas Potion | 50 | 10 | 25% faster mining, 20% extra mining damage, and 25% extra luck boost for 900 seconds |
| XP Totem | 50 | 3 | Grants a 25% extra XP boost |
| Vitality Totem | 50 | 3 | Regenerates 1% health per second |
| Warrior Totem | 50 | 3 | Provides 15% extra physical damage and 20% extra movement speed |
| Miner Totem | 100 | 3 | Increases mining speed by 20% and mining damage by 15% |
| Luck Totem | 150 | 3 | Grants a 25% extra luck boost |
| Hell Slayer | 200 | Limited | Blueprint for a powerful straight sword feared by the underworld |
| Candy Cane | 1,200 | Limited | Blueprint for a festive straight sword (deceptively powerful) |
| Candy Cane Pickaxe | 800 | Limited | 280 Mine Power and +65% Luck Boost |
| Race Reroll | 650 | 5 | Allows you to reroll your race for better stats |
| Christmas Pickaxe | 3,600 | Limited | 550 Mine Power and +72% Luck Boost |
What are Totems? Totems are temporary buff items that give you powerful bonuses for a set duration. They are extremely useful for difficult mining sessions or boss fights. The Miner Totem and Luck Totem are especially valuable for finding rare ores.
What are Pickaxes? Pickaxes determine your mining power and luck when gathering ores. The Christmas Pickaxe is currently one of the best pickaxes in the game with its massive 550 Mine Power and +72% Luck Boost.
What are Blueprints? Blueprints unlock new weapon recipes in your forging menu. The Hell Slayer and Candy Cane are straight sword variants with unique appearances and stats.
Best Items to Buy First from the Christmas Shop
With limited XMas Tickets available each day, you need to prioritize your purchases. Here’s what to buy first:
Priority 1: Christmas Pickaxe (3,600 tickets)
This is the ultimate prize. With 550 Mine Power and +72% Luck Boost, it will revolutionize your mining forever. Save your tickets from day one and buy this as soon as you have enough. The Mine Power and Luck Boost combination makes it the best pickaxe currently available in The Forge.
Priority 2: Miner Totem and Luck Totem (100 and 150 tickets)
These totems help you mine more efficiently and find rarer ores. Use them strategically when farming for materials to forge better weapons and armor. The stackable buffs make a huge difference in late-game mining.
Priority 3: Hell Slayer Blueprint (200 tickets)
This blueprint unlocks a powerful straight sword. It’s much cheaper than the pickaxes but gives you a strong weapon option for combat. The Hell Slayer scales well with high-quality ores and has excellent base stats.
Priority 4: Candy Cane Pickaxe (800 tickets)
If you can’t afford the Christmas Pickaxe, this is a solid mid-tier option with 280 Mine Power and +65% Luck Boost. It’s affordable within a few days of questing.
Priority 5: XP Totem (50 tickets)
Great for leveling up faster, especially if you’re still below level 70 and need to unlock Frostspire Expanse Island. Only buy this if you have leftover tickets after getting the core items.
Avoid Early: Race Reroll is expensive at 650 tickets and only useful if you’re unhappy with your current race. The Christmas Potion is consumable and only lasts 15 minutes, making it a poor long-term investment.
How Long Does the Winter Expansion Event Last?
The Winter Expansion Part 1 and Christmas event runs for exactly 14 days. According to the official announcement from developer Fireatacck, the event started on December 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM PT and ends on January 8, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT.
Event Timeline:
- Start: December 25, 2025, 10:00 AM PT
- End: January 8, 2026, 10:00 AM PT
- Duration: 14 days (336 hours)
What Happens When the Event Ends?
- Santa NPC will leave Frostspire Expanse Island
- You can no longer earn XMas Tickets
- Any unused XMas Tickets will likely disappear or become unusable
- The Christmas Shop will close permanently
- Limited-time items (pickaxes and blueprints) will never be available again
Time Zone Conversion:
- Pacific Time (PT): December 25, 10:00 AM – January 8, 10:00 AM
- Eastern Time (ET): December 25, 1:00 PM – January 8, 1:00 PM
- Central European Time (CET): December 25, 7:00 PM – January 8, 7:00 PM
- Indian Standard Time (IST): December 25, 11:30 PM – January 8, 11:30 PM
Mark your calendar and make sure to spend all your XMas Tickets before the deadline. Many players lose their hard-earned tickets by waiting until the last minute.
Can You Restock Christmas Store Items?
No. This is one of the most important things to understand about the Christmas Shop. Once you purchase an item and its stock runs out, you cannot buy it again. The stock limits are designed to create scarcity and encourage daily participation.
Stock Behavior by Item Type:
Limited Stock Items (Totems and Race Reroll):
These have a set number of purchases available per player. For example, the XP Totem has a stock of 3. After you buy all 3, the item will show as “Out of Stock” and cannot be purchased again during this event.
Limited Items (Pickaxes and Blueprints):
These are marked as “Limited” rather than having a stock number. This means you can only buy them once, and they are exclusive to this event. The Hell Slayer, Candy Cane, Candy Cane Pickaxe, and Christmas Pickaxe will never return after the event ends.
Why This Matters:
You must prioritize which totems you want most. If you waste tickets on less important totems, you might not have enough for the better ones before they sell out. This stock system rewards players who plan their purchases and save tickets for the best items.
Pro Tip: The Miner Totem and Luck Totem both have a stock of 3. These are the most valuable totems for long-term progression. Buy these first before spending tickets on XP Totem or Vitality Totem.
Pro Tips for Maximizing Your Christmas Event Rewards
Want to get the most out of the Winter Expansion? Follow these expert strategies:
1. Start Quests Early Each Day
The Holiday Tasks reset at midnight local time. Log in as early as possible each day to start working on the three quests. This gives you maximum time to complete them without rushing.
2. Complete All Three Quests Together
Don’t do them one at a time. Start all three quests simultaneously. While mining the 50 Icy Pebbles for “Cold as Snow,” you’ll encounter Crystal Spiders and Diamond Spiders naturally. This lets you progress on “Santa’s Pest Control” at the same time. After mining, forge your items to complete “Santa’s Workshop Warmup.”
3. Use The Forge Codes for Boosts
Before starting your daily grind, check for active The Forge codes. These can give you free reforge tickets for better races or temporary totems that speed up mining and combat. Even small boosts save valuable time.
4. Farm in Private Servers
Join or create a private server to avoid competition for ores and enemies. With fewer players around, you can mine Icy Pebbles faster and find Crystal Spiders more easily. This makes completing the daily quests much more efficient.
5. Enhance Your Gear Before Combat
The “Kill Enemies” quest requires defeating 25 Crystal Spiders and 5 Diamond Spiders. These enemies hit hard in the Winter Expansion. Use your best weapons and armor with high crafting quality. If you have them, use Warrior Totem and Vitality Totem to make the fights easier.
6. Save Tickets from Day One
Don’t spend tickets on small items early. Set your sights on the Christmas Pickaxe (3,600 tickets) and start saving immediately. It takes about 9 days of completing all daily quests to afford it. If you spend tickets on potions or weak totems early, you’ll never afford the best items.
7. AFK Farm Icy Pebbles
Set up an AFK farm near Icy Pebble spawn locations. While you need to be active for forging and combat, you can let your character auto-mine rocks while you do other things. Just check back periodically to move to new ore veins.
8. Check Golden Coast Island for Extra Materials
If you need extra ores for the forging quest, visit Golden Coast island. It has abundant ore veins that can help you quickly craft the 3 weapons and 3 armors required for Santa’s Workshop Warmup quest.
Common Mistakes to Avoid During the Event
Even experienced players make these errors during the Christmas event:
Mistake 1: Wasting Tickets on Potions
The Christmas Potion costs 50 tickets and only lasts 15 minutes. That’s terrible value compared to permanent pickaxes or reusable totems. Never buy potions until you own every other item you want.
Mistake 2: Forgetting to Log In Daily
The Holiday Tasks reset every 24 hours. Missing even one day means losing 420 tickets forever. Set a daily reminder on your phone to log in and complete the three quests.
Mistake 3: Buying Race Reroll Too Early
At 650 tickets, Race Reroll is expensive and only useful if you have a bad race. Most players should prioritize totems and pickaxes first. Only buy Race Reroll if you’re stuck with a race that doesn’t match your playstyle.
Mistake 4: Not Checking Stock Limits
Some players buy 3 XP Totems only to realize they can’t afford the Miner Totem later. Plan your purchases and know that totems have stock limits. Buy the most valuable ones first.
Mistake 5: Ignoring Crafting Quality
When forging items for the daily quest, don’t just rush through the minigames. Higher crafting quality means better stats, which helps you kill enemies faster and survive longer. Take an extra minute to get Excellent or Masterwork quality.
Mistake 6: Waiting Until the Last Day
The event ends on January 8, 2026. Many players wait until January 7th to spend tickets, but the shop might close early or you might have connection issues. Spend your tickets by January 7th at the latest to be safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many XMas Tickets can I earn per day in The Forge?
You can earn a maximum of 420 XMas Tickets per day by completing all three Holiday Tasks. The “Forge Items” quest gives 120 tickets, “Mine Rocks” gives 140 tickets, and “Kill Enemies” gives 160 tickets. These are daily quests that reset every 24 hours, so you must log in each day to earn the full amount. Over the 14-day event, you can earn up to 5,880 tickets total, which is enough to buy every item in the Christmas Shop if you save wisely.
What level do I need to be to access the Christmas Store?
You must reach level 70 to unlock the Frostspire Expanse Island where Santa NPC is located. While you can start playing The Forge at any level, the Portal Tool won’t show the Frostspire option until you hit level 70. Focus on mining ores, forging equipment, and completing regular quests to gain XP quickly. Once you reach level 70, equip your Portal Tool, select Frostspire Expanse, and teleport to the Winter Island to find Santa NPC on his ship.
Can I still earn XMas Tickets after completing all store purchases?
No, you should stop doing the daily Holiday Tasks once you’ve bought everything you want from the Christmas Shop. The tasks take time and effort, and XMas Tickets have no use outside of this event. There’s no reason to earn extra tickets that will vanish when the Winter Expansion ends on January 8, 2026. However, if you enjoy the extra challenge or want to practice combat and mining, you can still complete the quests for fun.
Will the Christmas Store items ever return to The Forge?
Developer Fireatacck has not confirmed if these items will return in future holiday events. Based on the “Limited” tag on pickaxes and blueprints, it’s likely these specific items are exclusive to the 2025 Winter Expansion. However, Roblox games often bring back seasonal content in new forms. The Christmas Pickaxe and Candy Cane weapons might not return, but future winter events could offer new variants with different stats. It’s safest to assume these items are one-time-only and buy them while you can.
How do I get to Frostspire Expanse Island quickly?
First, reach level 70 through regular mining and questing. Next, complete the tutorial and talk to the Wizard NPC to unlock the Portal Tool (usually available around level 10). Equip the Portal Tool to your hotbar, open it, and select “Frostspire Expanse” from the destination list. Click Teleport to instantly travel to Island 3. Santa NPC will be waiting on a decorated ship right next to your spawn point. You cannot access the island before level 70, even with a private server or portal tool.
Are the Christmas Store items pay-to-win?
The Christmas Store items are powerful but not strictly pay-to-win. You cannot buy XMas Tickets with Robux directly. All items must be earned through gameplay by completing daily Holiday Tasks. While players with VIP game passes or better races might complete quests faster, the event is accessible to all players who reach level 70. The Christmas Pickaxe gives a significant advantage in mining speed and luck, but it’s earned through consistent daily participation, not real money.
What happens to unused XMas Tickets when the event ends?
All unused XMas Tickets will disappear when the Winter Expansion ends on January 8, 2026. The game does not convert them to gold or save them for next year. Spend every ticket before the deadline. Check your inventory on January 7th to ensure you have zero tickets remaining. If you’re short on tickets for a big item like the Christmas Pickaxe, prioritize it over smaller items to avoid wasting currency.
Conclusion
The Forge Christmas Store offers some of the best items in the game during the limited-time Winter Expansion event. By completing daily Holiday Tasks for Santa NPC on Frostspire Expanse Island, you can earn up to 420 XMas Tickets per day and unlock powerful pickaxes, weapon blueprints, and helpful totems.
Remember to prioritize the Christmas Pickaxe for its incredible 550 Mine Power and +72% Luck Boost. Save your tickets from day one and avoid wasting them on potions or early race rerolls. The event runs until January 8, 2026, so log in daily and complete all three quests to maximize your rewards.
