[hide]Overview
Eva Levante is the event vendor, found in the Tower.
The Dawning quest introduces players to the event. Players will obtain Eva's Holiday Oven 2.0, allowing them to bake cookies using ingredients obtained by defeating different types of enemies in various ways throughout the game, with Essence of Dawning being earned from completing activities. These cookies can be given to certain vendors in exchange for Dawning Spirit, random gear drops, and possibly A Gift in Return.
Snowballs will drop when defeating enemies in Vanguard Ops and patrol zones. They can be picked up and thrown, dealing Stasis damage. Eva sells upgrades for Dawning Spirit that improve the snowballs' effectiveness.
Exclusive Dawning weapons can be obtained by completing certain Event Challenges. After unlocking the required upgrades from Eva, A Gift in Return and Dawning Spirit can be used to purchase Festive Engrams, which each drop a random Dawning weapon, or focus specific weapons if they have been acquired previously.
A new Memento, the Dawning Memento, is now available, exclusive to the event. It can be obtained by completing the Winter Night quest from Eva. Additional copies can be earned by opening A Gift in Return.[3]

The Event Card can be accessed from the Quests tab in the Director next to the Seasonal Challenges. It can also be found on Eva Levante's vendor screen, or through the Tower icon on the Destinations map in the Director.
