Do you hear the jingle bells? And do you see the SNOW?!?! (get me out of here please it's so cold)
We let you know in last week's Bulletin to look forward to this week, and maybe you got a sneak peak during one of the streams (the real ones showed up).
But it's SNOWY NOW IN THE HUB!
We've also got a snowy rooftop for y'all to use for your snowbrawlin':
And we've also got cozy outfits and a new present that you can give to your friends!
Changelog
New Card: Present
Not collectible in packs
You can only get this card if someone uses it in the same match you are playing. Unless you're lucky, or are on the Nice List
You might be lucky enough to automatically get the present! Make sure you check to see if you can spread the holiday cheer!
New Skins: The "Unpaid Toy Maker" skin has been added for EVERY CHARACTER!
The Hub has been decorated with everything Christmas
The Xmas Rooftop map is back!
Bugfixes and Improvements

Buddy's Bulletin: XXII, December 15th
'Ey friends, it's been a couple weeks, eh?
If you didn't kinda check out the HUGE NEWS yesterday, we announced when the second Premium Expansion Pass for Friends vs Friends, Nerdvana, will be releasing January 16th, so get your decks ready for that!
You might be super curious about what's going to be coming with that, but why get hyped about something that comes out next month when you can get hyped about something that comes out NEXT WEEK?!?!
Reveal of the Week
A new update to the game is coming next week!!
Check out this SNOWIFIED Rooftop that's gonna be perfect for those snowbullet battles:
And of course, it wouldn't be a holiday update if you couldn't dress up and give your friends gifts, right? And what better way to do that than, uh, shoot them?
The update with all of these goodies will go live on December 19th, so make sure you get ready for a proper snowbrawl then!
Reminder to Those In the Back of the Classroom
We mentioned it in the announcement yesterday for Nerdvana (EEEEEEEEEEEEEI'MSOEXCITED!!!) that, when Nerdvana releases, y'all aren't going to be able to purchase the Deluxe Edition Content anymore.
SO if you want to get two-Premium-Passes-for-the-price-of-one, make sure you pick it up in the Deluxe Edition NOW!
Soooo to be honest, the Mayor of Friendtown is sick right now, and I'm just kinda trying to fill his shoes. I have no idea what's usually written in these sections.
I went back and read some of the other Bulletins and, uh, it looks like he's using this column instead of a therapist? So I guess I can give that a go?
Um, my mother always thought that I had too much energy as a kid, and wanted me to be a teacher. And then I went to school where I studied Spanish and Political Science to, uh... make video games and live in Friendtown? And that's why I'm bad at buying gifts for people.
...
You know, that was actually kinda nice. I can see why he likes doing this.
Hope I didn't make things feel too different for y'all, this is the Not-Mayor of Friendtown, signing off.
...
Oh and next week we'll cover more of Nerdvana.
Not-Mayor, OUT!
Coming January 2024 - Welcome to NERDVANA!
Get ready for the grand opening of a new store on Buddy's Boulevard!
On January 16th we'll be releasing Friends vs Friends: Nerdvana, the second premium expansion pass that will contain a brand-new location, Nerdvana Comics, along with a brand new Quest Chain that will reward brand-new skins, Hama Chains, and Card Backs!
We also want y'all boneheads to know that the Deluxe Edition Content, which includes the first two Premium Passes for Friends vs Friends, will NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE WHEN NERDVANA COMES OUT! So make sure you cash in on the bargain that it is before then, we'll try to remind you as much as we can!
Stay tuned in to upcoming Buddy Bulletins to get a glimpse of what more is to come!
Get ready to roll the dice and unleash the true power of nerdiness!

Mayor’s Message
Hey folks, it's me. The Mayor of Friendtown.
It's been a while since I wrote my column, and I've missed it!
I always get slightly melancholic during this time of the year, it's like getting to the final chapter of a really good book. I do hate wintertime though... People keep saying "You should be used to it now, come on" - CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT!? I'm never gonna get used to it, I hate it, please stop! People who say they "love the winter" clearly can't be trusted.
I'm gonna log off now, I'm getting too upset.

Mayor’s Message
Hey folks, it's me. The Mayor of Friendtown.
You know, I'm totally into the spooky season. Curling up on the couch with some hot cocoa, a cozy blanket, and enjoying one of my ultimate faves, The Exorcist. That's a solid 10 out of 10 weekend for me!
Btw, have y'all seen there's a new one coming out!? I'm so pumped... and freaked out... mostly freaked.
If I'm completely honest, that movie isn't my thing at all. I don't know why I made it seem like I'm into it, I genuinely hate scary movies!
