The Dawning holiday event is returning in Destiny 2 on December 15 and is free to all players, bringing snowfall to the Tower and allowing Guardians to spread holiday cheer by baking cookies with the NPC Eva Levante. Assuming it works like it did in previous years, you'll need to defeat specific enemies to collect specific ingredients. Then you can combine the ingredients in the oven that Eva gives you to make cookies.

Baking cookies, completing bounties, and playing missions will net you a special currency called Dawning Spirit. This currency can be used to unlock and customize a brand new ship. Additionally, players will also be able to earn a new Fusion Rifle called Glacioclasm. Also, there will be plenty of cool items in the Eververse microtransaction store like armor ornaments and sparrow speeder bikes for those who are willing to use real money (or spend some of their Bright Dust). Make sure to check out the event page for more info.

The Dawning event lasts until January 5, which should give players a good amount of time to collect everything they want from the event. Are you planning on earning or buying any of the Dawning gear? Let me know.
