Summary
Don't Starve Together has many different holiday events, from the Midsummer Carnival to the Year of the Depths worm or Winter's Feast, players always have something new to see during the holidays. While users can set this to auto-apply based on the current date, they can also enable specific events manually so that they always appear.
