Winter Treats & Yule Spirits — Holiday Mini-Update

Ways of Alchemy · published 26 Dec 2025, 08:14 UTC · build 21292399

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hey alchemists, a small winter update is now live! It adds a light seasonal event with a small quest from your friendly Neighbor, a couple of new cards and a bit of festive trouble on your farm.

Thank you for playing Ways of Alchemy this year, sending us feedback, bug reports and ideas. We wish you cozy holidays and hope this little update keeps you good company!

Threesmas cookies and Yule spirits

During the holiday period you will come across a new seasonal event in the game:

  • Friendly neighbor’s treats: your neighbor decides to do some seasonal baking and fills the table with special treats that restore hunger and give solid buffs on top. Good food, good stats!

  • Yule spirits raid your farm: at the same time, Yule spirits descend on your farm. They’re not too happy about their old traditions being replaced by a new fashionable religion, so they've stolen some of the Neighbor’s cookies and are causing trouble for the alchemist.

You’ll need to deal with the Yule spirits so they stop misbehaving and causing trouble for the alchemist.

Happy holidays, alchemists!

We hope this mini update adds some warmth and a bit of controlled chaos to your time in Ways of Alchemy. This is a small holiday-themed event rather than a big content drop but we hope it brings a bit of extra flavor to your winter sessions.

Thank you again for playing, returning after updates and helping us improve the game with your feedback. If you enjoy the game and this winter update, a short Steam review helps a lot with the future development of Ways of Alchemy!
